Margaret was born in Huron to Elmer and Flora (Holforty) Scotter on December 16, 1940. She grew up on a farm and attended a country school south of Huron. She graduated in 1958 from Huron High School. She became a teacher and taught in Ellendale, North Dakota then chose to go back to school. She earned a nursing degree at Dakota Wesleyan and a degree in Chemistry at SDSU in Brookings. Additionally, Margaret completed a Medical Technologist certificate St. Johns Hospital, now Huron Regional Medical Center. She worked at the hospital for over 35 years.

She married Marvin Eid and they raised their children in Huron. After retiring, Margaret moved to Sioux Falls. She enjoyed traveling, including Hawaii and a Bahama cruise. She had a special interest for writing short stories and especially liked antique shopping. But her biggest love was for her children. She was a wonderful cook who always made sure they were well fed, including their friends, and anyone who walked in the door.
