While Herschel was away during World War II, Marguerite went back to Detroit and began working for Michigan Bell Telephone as an operator. She was employed there for over 35 years. After her retirement in 1981 they moved out to Three Rivers, to be near their family and grandchildren.
Marguerite was a member of Howardsville Gospel Chapel for many years and later attended Bethany Chapel. Her faith in God and church involvement were very important to her. She was always trying to help other people. She also enjoyed traveling, sewing, crocheting, and was an excellent pie maker.
