After Don completed his military obligation, they were married on June 9, 1954, in the Manti, Utah, Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

 Margaret was a dedicated homemaker during her 70 years of marriage. This allowed her to spend countless hours in church and community service. She was also a pianist and an expert knitter. For many years children and grandchildren received a beautiful, handknit sweater on special occasions from Grandma Reid. She served in many leadership and teaching positions in her Church over the years. After her husband’s retirement they were able to serve 3 couple missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
