Upon Completion of college, she embarked on an early career with Sothern California Gas Company as a Home Economist from 1945-1957 in Southern California. On February 1, 1947, she married Alan Douglas Ewen in Los Angeles. During the next 20 years, Margie and Alan had the great fortune to be involved in many unique experiences in a variety of locations. Margie has quite a historical legacy on both her mother's (Golda Gilcrease Hengst) and father's (William E. Hengst) sides, both whom were centurions as were other uncles and aunts. Margie was an extreme lover of cats from her time as a young girl through nearly her entire adult life. From the mid 60's to 2014, she typically had multiply Persian or Himalayan cats (her kiddies). Margie Ann's life was amazingly lived to the fullest. A consummate lady who gave of herself unselfishly with grace and pleasure. Margie and Alan never had children but she enjoyed her nieces and nephews, great, great-great and great-great-great nieces and nephews, her cousins and other extended family. Margie was preceded in death by husband, Alan D. Ewen, parents Bill and Golda Hengst, older sister June (Hengst) Maze and brother in law Robin Kauling.
