Marguerite, daughter of James K. and Mary (Fox) Hoffman, was born January 29, 1904, near Templeton in Carroll County, Iowa. She attended rural school and then Sacred Heart grade school in Templeton.

She taught for two years after completing her Normal Training. Marge then attended beauty school in Minot, ND and taught there for many years.

In 1941, several years after their divorce, Marge moved to Cheyenne, WY where she worked in a defense plant during World War II for United Airlines. Then she worked in ladies ready-to-wear at Montgomery Wards for numerous years before starting with the Wyoming Department of Transportation. Marge worked part-time for Jones Department Store in Cheyenne after her retirement in 1969 from the Department of Transportation. In 1978 she moved back to Iowa living with her sister Bea in

Templeton and a year later in Manning living first at Elm Crest ' Apartments then at the Community Apartments.

Marge was very interested in politics and enjoyed playing cards and embroidery in her spare time. She was a member of Sacred Heart Parish in Manning, Altar Society and VFW Auxiliary. She remained very active and lived on her own until 2003 when she became a resident of the Manning Plaza Nursing Home. After suffering a broken hip in June of 2005, her health continued to fail and she died at the Plaza in Manning on Saturday, September 10, 2005, at the age of 101 years, 7 months and 12 days.
