Margie was born February 2, 1931 to Fabian and Lavenia Hughes. After graduating from Cradock High in Portsmouth Va she worked as a secretary at the Naval Supply Center. It was there she was introduced to the light of her life, Clyde Jones. They married and moved to Virginia Beach in 1965. She raised her daughters while also enjoying serving on the board of the Kingston Elementary PTO, the Women's Auxiliary of Virginia Beach General Hospital and devoting much of her time and talent to St Nicholas Catholic Church where singing in the choir brought her great joy.
