Upon her return to Canada, she joined Alberta Health Services in Drumheller. To improve her skills Margaret took leave to obtain a Master's degree in speech-language pathology from Minot State University in North Dakota and then joined the Community Health Centre in Vegreville, AB where she assisted people with their speech problems until her retirement. Margaret enjoyed traveling, writing, drawing, and helping children as a primary school volunteer. She was fond of all creatures, particularly her dogs, and had many beloved friends across Canada and abroad.
