Margie married William “Bill” Kukowski of Georgetown at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Georgetown on November 29, 1950. They farmed at Georgetown and raised their family in the community. Margie spent all of her life in the Georgetown community. She worked at various jobs as a teenager to help support her family’s income. After marriage, she was a full-time mother and farm wife; cooking and taking care of everyone.
