They later moved to Mitchell, Spray, Elgin and Weston, Ore., in the logging business. In 1957, they purchased Battle Mountain Café on Highway 395 near Ukiah, Ore. She became famous for her pies.

Marguerite enjoyed traveling, gardening, having dinners at her home, time with her children, and serving at the Pendleton Senior Center. She loved having her family and everyone around her.
