Margaret was born on November 16, 1944, to David Francis Robey and Elta Mae (Coates) Robey in Cedar Rapids, Nebraska.  At 16 months old, her family moved to a farm east of Adrian. Margaret graduated from Adrian High School in 1962. The day after graduation, Margaret moved to Kansas City and started working at Montgomery Ward, then went to IBM school and worked at Sears, Roebuck in the office for 13 years. On weekends, she went by bus to visit the family in Adrian.  Margaret saved her money so that she could travel to Hawaii, Europe, and Japan. She loved to tell of her adventures and share photos. 

In 1970, she met Hervil Satterfield, and they married on October 15th, 1974.  They lived in Kansas City, then moved to Adrian in 2012.  Both were happy to have a garden and an orchard.  Margaret was an amazing cook who loved to provide meals to her loved ones often. She loved to garden alongside Hervil, then share the canned produce.  Margaret did not know a stranger.  She would talk to everyone with a friendly smile.  Some of her favorite times were spent planning gatherings with family, writing recipes, praying for others, and offering support to friends and family. Margaret always had a kind and loving heart.
