Margaret grew up in Byron, Wyoming and graduated from Byron High School. On March 28, 1941, she was married to James Francis Wirth at the home of her grandparents, Byron A. and Ellen J. Sessions, who were celebrating their golden wedding anniversary on that day.
They next lived in Laramie where Jim attended the University of Wyoming until they moved to Oakland, California during World War II to work in the shipyards.
