She was the queen of the Crewe of the Athenians Ball in 1964. After marriage and several moves, she spent many years in the Boston area, where she became head of Anesthesia Scheduling for Beth Israel Hospital.

Margaret is survived by her daughter Margaret (Meg) Wilkerson Makalou, son-in-law Sambou Makalou, her granddaughter Frances Siga Makalou, her former husband and best friend, George Steven Wilkerson, all of San Francisco, and a host of cousins.
