Margaret shares her life with her spouse, Paul Snellgrove and their two adult children, along with the community of the College of St. Elizabeth. She serves the college as a professor of literature. Additionally, she teaches english as part of the diocesan Migrant Ministry. Margaret also serves on the Board of Directors as Chair for St. Michael Indian School, founded by St. Katharine Drexel, in Apache County, AZ. She spends summers there teaching Navajo students.

Somehow, Margaret finds the time to volunteer as a cantor. She envigorates us in liturgy,leading us with songs of praise, and occasionally with tamborine and hand drum. No liturgy is ever boring when Margaret is present. Her excitement and love of God is truly contagious.
