Margaret was a lifetime resident of Northumberland County, growing up in Ball's Neck with her parents and three siblings. In her early years, she attended Shiloh School and was later a student at Wicomico High. She was crowned May Queen at 16 years old. Margaret went on to enroll in Madison College,before eloping and returning to the Northern Neck. It was there that she, Driscoll, and their two sons ran a full-service farm. Delightfully remembered by many as "Miss Margaret", she taught kindergarten on the farm for many years. Marg could light up a room with her smile and had a knack for connecting with people.
