Margaret was born July 4, 1940 in Glenns Ferry, to Lee and Alice Trail. She grew up in the King Hill and Glenns Ferry area where she attended school and graduated from Glenns Ferry High School.

Margaret married Bill Pruett on January 27, 1956 in Mountain Home. After they were married, she farmed and raised five children.

In 1974, they moved the Half Moon Ranch on Colds Springs Creek. There they raised cattle that grazed from Colds Springs to Bennett Mountain.

In 1998, she married LeRoy Reynolds. They lived together at the Hap Woodward place. She enjoyed gardening and took pride in her flowers.

In 2001, LeRoy and Margaret divorced. She continued to live in Pasadena Valley and stayed involved in the community.

After she retired, she loved to enter her prized flowers and vegetables at the Elmore County Fair.
