Margaret was born to Joseph and Alice Harrington on March 26, 1938, in Syracuse, New York. She had one sister and five brothers. As a young woman, during wartime, she ran a military teletype for AT&T. She also worked at Butter Maid Bakery and as a diamond specialist at Service Merchandise, although she was primarily a wife, mother, and homemaker. Margaret married William Ullman (d 1969) in 1959. She married Derrick C. Holdstock (d 2011) in 1972. Margaret was a collector of many types of collectible dolls, including Dawn Dolls, for which she would make and sell clothes. She would even make dozens of doll-sized t-shirts each year for the annual Dawn Doll Convention, featuring the convention logo. Margaret and her family loved traveling and enjoyed taking family vacations to NASCAR races and other destinations across the South. She loved her family. Her grandsons and grand puppies were her world. Following her move to Canadian, Margaret cherished time with her great-granddaughter, Trueyn.

Margaret was also preceded in death by her parents, Alice and Joseph Harrington; sister, Sandra Jeannette Robinson; brother, Ronald Harrington; and nephews, Jerrold Harrington II and Zachary Harrington.

Survivors include two sons, Timothy Ullman (Sondra) of Averill Park, New York and Derrick P.
