Margaret was born to Leo and Eva (Bell) Schuett on August 3, 1933, in Sheldon, Iowa. She was baptized into the Lutheran faith at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Hartley, Iowa. She received her elementary education in a country school in Lincoln Township and later graduated from Hartley High School in 1951.

One such project was being active in the Lutheran Braille Workshop, making Bibles for the blind.
