Margie is a native fourth generation Oregonian, born in Forest Grove and raised on a 10 acre farm two miles from Banks.  She went to Parochial School in Roy and graduated from St. Mary of the Valley in Beaverton.  Her father was a saw filler in logging camps and her mother was a homemaker raising seven children.
   After meeting Donavon Shaw, a North Plains Police Chief, he soon filled the vacancy in Enterprise as their Police Chief.  Upon finding the winters long, cold, and lonely, he asked Margie to join him as his wife and mother of his two sons.
   Margie soon found that a good way to meet new people and make good friends was in volunteering for community services and has been active in assisting at Safe Harbors and Community Connections and through her church at St. Katherine's.  She has also volunteered to help with Enterprise Summerfest, Winterfest, and Mule Days.  She has been a member of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority, a member of Wallowa County Garden Club, and Economic Action Team in Enterprise.  She is also a graduate of Ford Institute Leadership Program and a 4-H sewing volunteer.  Margie is currently in her sixth year as City Councilor for the City of Enterprise, which she feels is a very fulfilling job.  She has had several jobs in Wallowa County from working for Doug Tippet to receptionist at the City of Enterprise.  The last five years she worked for Eastern Oregon Nursery.
   Margie decided in 2007 to become a real estate broker, and with the support of Principal Broker Karen Raminha, passed all her courses and the real estate exam.
   Margie is dedicated to helping you, as her client, meet all of your real estate needs with integrity and honesty.  Give her a call or stop by Stagestop Realty and let her help you make your dreams come true.
