Margaret was born February 1, 1924, in Mt. Pleasant on the family farm which has become a centennial farm by being passed down through all daughters. Her parents are the late Gerald and Minnie (Robert) Rukenbrod. She married Keith Mogg on July 20, 1944, in Mt. Pleasant. Together they worked to build one of the largest dairy farms in Denver Township in the hay-days. Margaret was actively involved in 4-H as a leader and helped to create the Dairy Boosters. She never missed an Isabella County 4-H fair and enjoyed watching the kids. She also enjoyed tending her large garden in her early years and canning the harvest. Other favorite activities included rock collecting and photography as well as yearly trips to Florida for the winter months where she was able to spend a lot of quality time with her sister and brother-in-law, Gloria and Jack. Additionally, she was always very close with her three aunts, Kathryn, Amy and Ruby.
