She was born Saturday, June 3, 1939, in Alba, to the late Walton Dutch and Mary Westbrook Shaw. She married Alan Frank Wallace on August 4, 1957, in Dallas. Margie moved from Arlington in 1978 and lived in the Alba area for 38 years. She played basketball for the Alba Eagles at Alba ISD where she graduated in 1955 (last year before consolidation).
