Margaret was a member of the Marshall Historical Society and helped with house tours. She was a collector; Margaret especially enjoyed the thrill of finding something exciting at Goodwill. Along with her sister Janet, Margaret loved to travel, visit casinos, and collect seashells in Florida. Margaret was friendly, warm, and able to chat with and make friends with anyone. Many people thought of her as their "adopted" grandmother.

Margaret is survived by her two sons, John Weisbaum of Marshall, Michigan and Charles Weisbaum of Birmingham, Michigan; three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren and her sister, Janet Bannister of Long Lake, Michigan.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Donald and her parents.
