Margaret attended the one room Wood School in Bangor and then went to Bangor High School. After High School she met and married James Hershberger and together they raised James and Laura. Margaret was a strong woman, feisty, hardworking, quitting was not an option. She was goofy, silly with a good sense of humor. She loved being outside working in her flower beds and gardening. She spent her time inside watching old musicals, drawing and coloring. She loved her grandkids and her family. She will be deeply missed.
The family will privately celebrate Margarets life at a later date, as cremation as taken place.
