After being a stay at home mom, she worked at Elida High School, and then General Dynamics.

Once they moved to Cincinnati, Margaret worked for Fluor Daniel, and then Proctor and Gamble for 14 years, until she retired in 2012.

Auburn Presbyterian as a Deacon and Treasurer. Margaret is survived by her loving children; James Bateman (Dan), Scott Standriff (Jennifer), Sandra Ernst (Mark); grandchildren Rilee & Casey Standriff, Quinn & Teegan Ernst; & several nieces and nephews.
