Marguerite and G J began their life together working in a one room school house in Sprinkle, Texas. They were both employed at the state school for Mentally Handicapped until 1943 when they moved to Texas City to work for the school system. Marguerite worked various secretarial positions until 1952 when she joined the Texas City School Tax Office and remained there until retiring in November, 1978.

Marguerite loved her family and was very dedicated to her family and friends and truly lived a Christ filled life. She was very active, walked daily for exercise, took pride in her flower gardens, and kept a beautiful home while sharing and giving to others. She loved to cook and always had hot cookies for anyone that stopped by for a quick visit. Her active lifestyle and love for Christ is what allowed us to be blessed with her life for over a century.
