Margaret (nee Tully) Green was the wife of Len Green, who worked at the N. Booth Store and Station. Margaret, like her husband, would drive the Diamond "T" occasionally, as a spare driver when her husband would run into Vancouver for the wholesale grocery pickup. Doing relief work was not out of economic necessity, but was done as a favour to Mrs. Gertrude Booth to keep the operation moving smoothly. Margaret and Len did not have any children. She worked for many years as a school teacher at North Otter, Fort Steele, Glenwood, and Langley Central School, and at Langley Secondary. Margaret Green died in 1995.
