Margery attended Teacher's College in Fredericton and taught in several one-roomed schools in the area; including: Coles Island, Hammtown, Salmon Creek, Narrows and finally the Cambridge-Narrows Elementary School where she became principal for 28 years. She retired in 1986. Margery was very active in her community. She was the Codys United Baptist Sunday School Superintendent for several years as well as a Sunday School teacher. She served on several committees at the Church- Cemetery Committee, Finance Committee, Parsonage Committee, Missionary Society, Ladies Aid as well as President and Treasurer at the Cody's Women's Institute.
