She attended Holly High (Mich.) School and graduated from Lewis & Clark High School in Spokane. Margery went on to earn her degree in accounting. She was an office manager/bookkeeper for Crystal Laundry, Empire Glass and RC Schwartz, also becoming a real estate agent.

In addition, she enjoyed playing games with her family, bowling and golfing. She was very proud that two of her ancestors signed the Declaration of Independence. She was a devout Christian, eventually converting to Roman Catholic, and instilled that faith in all of her children. She married her high school sweetheart, James E.

Dragoo III, Jessie Dragoo, Christopher Dragoo and Shealee Dawn Dragoo; and great-grandchild Andrew Giersdorf. The family would like to express its overwhelming gratitude to the staff at St. Joseph's Care Center and Providence SHMC, and Dr. Brian Seppi and Dr. Diane Danley for their compassionate care of our mother. Margery's nephew, The Reverend Robert Totten, will preside over the services, to be held 1PM Wednesday, July 27, at Heritage Chapel, followed by a brief committal at the gravesite.
