They lived in New Britain before moving to Bristol where they were blessed with and raised four children. Along with being a sweet, loving mother and wife, she worked many years as a cashier at Food Mart. In 2002 Margaret and Chet moved to Rockledge, FL and together they met great friends and enjoyed their many visits from family and friends.
