During her last two years at Trinity High School, she worked as a telephone operator for Bell Telephone. She moved to Ambridge, PA and worked as a welder on LST's for the American Bridge Company.

After marrying and having her three children, Margaret was appointed as the Postmaster of the United States Post Office in Sherwood on November 1, 1962. She continued in that position until she retired in 1998. She outlived the rest of her family by many years. Her parents, brothers Bernard Smith, Charles Smith, and sister Connie Eades passed many years ago. She is also predeceased by her two husbands, Albert M. Wallace and James F. Wallace. She is survived by her companion of many years, David Benhoff, whom she lovingly called "Honeydo", and her children: Margaret C. Jopp and her husband, Harold; Maurice F.
