She was born September 8, 1925 to the late Onie J. and Barbara B. Phillips, in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Margy graduated from Freemont High School in Los Angeles. She then worked for Grayson Heating during WWII. She married Manuel Pisonero, moved to Big Bear City, and worked as a bookkeeper for Bank of America. In 1964 she moved to Ventura and worked for Bank of America in Ojai, and later in life worked at Ventura County Mental Health. In 1967 she married James Du Bois and resided in Foster Park for about 30 years. She loved to have a good time with family and friends and loved to read and do crossword puzzles.
