Grandma Marginet was a mother, homemaker, and avid gardener, known to can 1000 quarts of fruits and vegetables in a season.  She was a lover of photography who left us a treasure of photos of each of us and the family activities. She loved family gatherings and was known to count out her own children and remark if any one was missing! She enjoyed playing cards and taught us that winning was not the most important thing. She enjoyed Belgian Bolling and won her first trophy at the tender age of 83. She had her stint as a member of the local CWL. She was quiet in her faith and devotion.  She loved music and her daughters remember dancing with her at her 98th birthday party.
