Margaret was born in 1943. She grew up on a farm in Bogard Township near Urich, Henry Co., Missouri. She attended first grade at a rural one-room school called Enterprise, which consolidated with the Urich School District the following year. She was graduated from Urich High School in 1961, president and valedictorian of her class. While growing up, Margaret took part in 4-H, completing 6 years of clothing projects, as well as cooking and flower arranging. She was enrolled in Junior Leadership several years, where she learned public speaking. Margaret also participated in the many activities of the farm, working in the garden, canning, butchering, plowing, disking, cultivating, mowing and raking hay and milking cows. She especially liked riding their horse, Thunder, a black former show horse.

After graduation, Margaret immediately went to work for AT&T in Kansas City, Missouri. She roomed with her school friends, Kathryn Hudson and Bettie Smith, until her fiance, George Kerns returned from his Army Reserve training, They were married Sep. 21, 1961, and moved to Harrisonville, Cass Co., Missouri, where he was employed by the Missouri Highway Department in the Construction department. Late in 1962 he was transferred to Clinton, Henry Co., Missouri, and they moved there, Margaret leaving AT&T. They purchased a house in Clinton, and Margaret worked for EBASCO Services a short time, then for the county's University Extension Center for about 3 years. She then worked for The Clinton Eye as a reporter for 6 months, after which she was employed by the USDA Soil Conservation Servivce, River Basin Survey as a clerk-stenographer for over a year. She was next employed as County Office Clerk with Farmers Home Adminiatration, also part of USDA.

In 1965 she and George purchased a farm from her parents, the place she was born. They built a house on their farm near Urich, Henry Co., MO, in 1975, and Margaret again changed jobs, working as a bookkeeper-secretary for the John Deere dealership in Clinton, B & N Machinery. In June 1980, George and Margaret were divorced for a short time. They were married a second time on Sep. 21, 1980 at Urich, Henry Co., MO. Margaret retired from the active work force and pursued her hobby of genealogy for a few years. She then took care of her mother, Mary Kepner during her last illness and death, then continued caring for her father, Glenn Kepner. She also helped her uncle and aunt, Lee and Hazel Kepner, during their final years. Margaret enjoyed gardening, sewing, miniatures, reading and cake decorating when her health permitted. She suffers from fibromyalgia, which has stopped her active hobbies. She still works on genealogy using her computer, and still reads her favorites, history, biographies, adventure, historical fiction, and mysteries. She also still enjoys listening to music, her favoriate performer being Harry Bellafonte, although she enjoys about all types of music.
