She then received a B.S. in Business Administration and Psychology from Regis College in Denver, Colorado and a MSA degree in Administration from Notre Dame University in Indiana. From 1968 to 1970 Sister Margaret served as the Director of Seton Health Care Network in Austin, Texas and then for the next three years as a Personnel Assistant at St. Mary Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She was missioned to Chicago, Illinois where she was a Parish Visitor for two years at St. Patrick Parish and then an Elderly Outreach Worker at St. Vincent de Paul Senior Services until 1981.

She then served in a variety of ministries including Pastoral Care Associate at St. Vincent Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama, Providence Hospital in Mobile, Alabama and St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. During this period, she also had two terms as a Docent at Seton Shrine in Emmitsburg, Maryland and an assignment as Parish Minister at St. Mary Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana. In June 2008, Sister Margaret came to Seton Residence in Evansville for the Ministry of Prayer until the time of her death.
