Margie’s family was her everything. She instilled hard work into her children. She was a disciplinarian with love. It was her way or no way, and she taught her kids to be strong. She loved the native culture, and it brought so much joy to her, as she watched her girls dance and her boys drum. Carrying on traditions made her heart so happy.
