She attended the Mastic Point Primary and Central Andros High Schools. Upon completing her schooling,

Through the years, she met the dashing Mr. Sirtanno S. Humes and after dating for some time, 
they were married on Saturday, November 23, 2002.

Pumpkin as she was affectionately called was the humblest, loving, considerate and influential 
person you could have known. To know her was to love, she had a warm pleasant smile that 
touched the lives of those who knew her.

She left a remarkable impact on many; Margo was the pillar of our family. She never turned 
anyone away who was in any kind of need. When we look at the brightness of the sun, 
we will always remember Margo's smile.

As the year 2008 rolled in she became extremely ill and was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit
