Born in Kitchener, Ontario, Margie and her family moved to Pakenham when she was 13. She quickly became the community builder that she was as she took part and contributed to just about every Pakenham area activity. While attending ADHS, Margie also worked part time at The Guide newspaper in Arnprior and remained there for several years after graduating from grade 12.
