On July 10, 1949, she married Richard Schyler Farren and lived in Colo. After Richard’s passing in 1975, Marguerite worked for a children’s clothing store in Ames. She worked in retail for 12 years meeting many wonderful friends. Her last 14 years were spent at Park Centre in Newton, where she was taken care of since unsuccessful hip surgery. She was unable to walk so was confined to her chair and bed. She was a strong, brave lady who made her family very proud. Her life was spent enjoying her children and their families.
