Marguerite was born to George and Ethel Schwartz of Libertyville, Iowa. She was a homemaker, a seamstress, and a business woman. She and her husband Rex owned the Carousel children's store for many years. She was a devoted member of the Oskaloosa community and held memberships in King's Daughters, Tri-T, PEO, and United Methodist Women. She and Rex became members of the Central United Methodist Church in 1949. For the past eight years, she resided at Pennsylvania Place in Ottumwa. Fortunately, several of her Oskaloosa friends were there, also. With their companionship and that of Joyce Linebaugh and Brenda Miller, she enjoyed the time in her new home. She always held fond memories of Oskaloosa.
