She spent the first few years of life growing up on her parents’ farm, where she enjoyed playing with the chickens. Her brother Ivan was born when she was three, and at age six the family moved to town so that she could attend school.

Keith’s career took them to Cheyenne and then Green River, WY, where their daughter, Megan, was born to them in 1980. They then moved to Edwards, CO, where their daughter Cathy joined the family.

In 2003, Keith and Margaret moved back to Winner to care for her mother Millie. Together they remodeled Margaret’s childhood home. They again became active members of First Baptist Church, where she played piano and taught children’s and adult Sunday School.
