She was born in Rensselaer, Indiana, on November 3, 1914, the daughter of George and Clara McGuire Scheetz.

A homemaker and longtime co-owner and operator of Ray’s Furniture, Margaret enjoyed gardening and was praised as an accomplished flower lady. She was especially adept at raising and cross breeding varieties of iris and shared her bountiful talent with others. Family remained her most important asset.
She and her husband collected post cards of County Court Houses from all over Indiana, and photographs of barn roofs sporting shingle art. They would drive all over to see the unique art form.
A loving grandmother and a great-grandmother, she had the patience of Job when dealing with her little ones.
