She attended Eagle Center Grade School in Brule County, SD, graduating from Chamberlain High School.

She married Norman Klein in August of 1951 at Chamberlain, where they resided until 1954 when they moved to Corvallis, OR. In 1958, they moved back to the family farm south of Burke, SD. Norman passed away in 2007 and Margie continued to live there until her passing.

Then later in life, she also worked as a bookkeeper for the Rosebud Cheese Plant in Burke. And as an aide at the Gregory nursing home and the Burke hospital. She enjoyed many hobbies including her flower gardens, sewing, crocheting, knitting, tatting, making quilts, painting pictures, stained glass, and puzzles. She made crocheted blankets for each of her grandchildren with their favorite football emblem on them.

She enjoyed family gatherings with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and enjoyed spoiling them all.
