Margie was born March 21, 1939 in Keystone, Oklahoma, a daughter of Cynthia and Sam Sisco. She was raised in Burbank, Oklahoma alongside her siblings where she attended school through the seventh grade. Margie's family moved to Ponca City, Oklahoma when she entered eighth grade and she became involved as a cheerleader in school. Margie graduated Ponca City High School with the class of 1957.

Margie's family moved to Van Buren, Arkansas after her high school graduation. She worked at a local diner where she met Billy Dean Harp. She wasn't sure what she thought of him at first; however, Billy was persistent and eventually they went on a date and the rest was history.

With her marriage to Billy, Margie was blessed with three bonus children Choyah, Nakita, and Steven. Margie and Bill were blessed with their only child together with the birth of Kevin Dean. Margie was a mother who knew the importance of discipline and her family always knew a home cooked meal was waiting on them. Her favorite role was being grandma to her nine grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren. Margie was a grandmother that was always there for her grandkids, watching over and cooking for them. 

Margie loved collecting antiques, was an amazing cook who was especially proud of her pie crust, grew a garden for many years, and had a special talent for growing roses.
