Born in Royal Oak on June 21, 1945, the daughter of Edwin and Margaret (Darroch) Schillag.  Margaret dedicated her life to her family, community, and country.

A passionate advocate for education, Margaret found fulfillment as a dedicated volunteer at schools, enriching the lives of countless children with her kindness and wisdom. As a homemaker, she poured her heart and soul into raising her four beloved children, instilling in them values of compassion, resilience, and integrity.

Margaret's professional journey included serving as a meticulous bookkeeper at her family's building company, where her keen eye for detail and unwavering work ethic were invaluable assets.

A staunch patriot, Margaret held a deep reverence for her country and its principles. She exemplified her patriotism through her unwavering support for the nation's ideals and her active participation in community events and initiatives.

On November 8, 1969, Margaret united in marriage with the love of her life, Robert Kime, at the Royal Oak United Methodist Church. Together, they shared a bond built on mutual respect, love, and unwavering companionship—a partnership that served as an inspiration to all who knew them.
