Margaret Pearl Williams was born in Laredo, Mo., on August 14, 1940 to James and Evelyn (Mang) Williams. She graduated from Galt High School followed by cosmetology school, spending several years as a beautician. Margaret married Rev. Harry Lee Pfeiffer on December 23, 1962.  Harry was a traveling preacher in North Missouri before they moved their family to Keithsburg, Ill., where Harry pastored the First Christian Church while attending Palmer Chiropractic College. The family moved to Kearney, Mo., in 1972 where Harry pastored the First Christian Church and opened his Chiropractic office, with Margaret always working by his side.

Besides spending time with family, Margaret was very active in the Kearney community, serving many years in the PTA and the Kearney Booster Club. She enjoyed spending time with friends playing cards, Bingo, and watching horse races.
