Marguerite went to Fisherville Elementary School and attended Grafton High School. Marguerite worked for a while at the Upton Hat Shop and then worked for many years at Glass King Market in Grafton as a cashier and then as a bookkeeper before retiring at age 62 when she then worked briefly for the Worcester office of Shaw’s Market. Above all Marguerite loved her family unconditionally. Marguerite loved sewing, quilting, reading and dancing. Marguerite and Richard spent many years with their camping trailer in Sharon, VT relaxing and fishing the White River. They also spent over 16 years at a condo each summer on a beautiful beach in Aruba. Marguerite was a member of St. James Church and The Daughters of Isabella.
