She was born Margery Louise Bent, June 3, 1921, in Lincoln, Vermont.
A sixth-generation Vermonter, she was the daughter of Morton Bent and Louise Kelton Bent.

Margery married Edward (Ned) Charles Masterson on February 4, 1940. The first winter of their marriage, Marge and Ned lived and worked in a logging camp in Texas Falls. Then Margery worked at a number of local businesses before their children were born. During these years they built homes in East Middlebury and Bristol, Margery became a member of the Eastern Star and the Federated Church in Bristol, and developed many friendships including that of her dear sister-in-law Margaret (Peggy) Masterson Dragon. Marge and Ned had five daughters and moved to Brandon where they lived from 1958 until after Ned's passing. During those years Margery ran a home daycare business and provided for her large family. She raised and preserved harvests from their bountiful gardens and made delicious homemade bread and doughnuts. Margery enjoyed knitting mittens for all her grandchildren, and created beautiful embroidered items as well. In 1981 Margery started her first career outside the home at Vermont Associates in Middlebury, where she found jobs for older workers. For five years, Margery linked people with jobs and won many awards for having the highest placement rates in the organization.
In 1992 Margery was predeceased by Ned after 52 years of marriage. Several years later she met and married Eldon (Speedy) Wyman.
They enjoyed nine years together, travelling and participating in the Champlain Valley Fiddler's Association. In the last few years of her life, Margery continued to enjoy her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, her love of reading, and her meals at Rosie's. She and her companion Bob Many also spent many happy times together participating in the Champlain Valley Fiddler's Club. Bob's support and care of Margery allowed her to live in her home until her passing.
