Margaret was known as Peg and never married. She assisted her brother Michael in the running of the family business, and slept at her cousin Bridie Kings's house each night. She was a good business person and took an active part in church affairs. When her sister-in-law, Nora died in 1956, she became mother to Michael's eight children, caring for them and continuing to manage the family business until her death on the 10th of September 1973. The verse on her memorial card sums up her personality: A life made beautiful by kind deeds, A helping hand for others needs, To a beautiful life came a happy end, She died as she lived, everyone's friend.
