Margaret was born on September 3, 1930 at Woodley, Saskatchewan to Herman and Hulda Selk. Margaret spent her youth and childhood on the family farm in the Woodley area. In 1956, she married Frank Huggins and together they raised their family of one son (Jeff) and a daughter (Nicole). Margaret and Frank lived in a number of places across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta while moving with Frank's oilfield job. They moved to Red Deer in 1986 where they put down roots for good. Margaret was active in the community and volunteered for a variety of church and charity organizations. Both her and Frank were members of the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd in Red Deer. Margaret kept busy by participating in the Oilwives Club, doing various crafts (knitting, crocheting, sewing, paper tole) and loved baking. During these years, they took many vacations together and with friends and family. Margaret will be remembered by Frank, her loving husband of fifty-eight years, two children; Jeff Huggins (Karen) of Carbon, Alberta, Nicole Huggins-Rawlins (Sean) of Red Deer, three grandchildren; Adam, Jeff and Michael.
