She was then united in marriage to Clifford L. Anderson in 1964, in Minneapolis, and to this union were born two children Brett and Randee. She continued to make her home in Minneapolis, until moving to the “best little town in the world”, Murdo, in 1971. While in Murdo, Margaret continued to waitress, along with working at various motels, and helping at the mechanic shop. She spent her whole life in customer service.
