She married Alvaro Carrillo May 12, 2002 in San Angelo, Texas. She worked for Elta Joyce McAfee for 23 years, building a lifelong friendship and bond.

Margarita truly lived life to the fullest and spread joy to everyone she met. She loved being a mother and often said her children were her whole world. Margarita's faith was very important to her along with her church family. She had an uncanny ability to connect with people in a deep and positive way. Margarita enjoyed the smaller things in life; like spending time with loved ones, shopping, decorating, and just sharing a laugh. But Margarita was also an adventure seeker who sky dived, zip lined the Rocky Mountains, and went snorkeling in the Caribbean waters.

Margarita is survived by her husband, Alvaro Carrillo; daughter, Yadira Margarita Morales; son, Jake Carrillo; two brothers, Jose Luis Arredondo; 6 sisters, Maria Hernandez and husband Sergio Espinosa, Noraelia Fernandez and husband Miguel, Monica Moreno and husband Javier, Paula Arredondo and husband Luis Garcia, and Mayra Weaver and husband Jason; many half brothers and sisters; numerous nieces and nephews including a very special niece to her, Laura Rodriguez; numerous great nieces and nephews who brought her so much joy; and a very special friend, Dulce Rocha.
