One story about St Marguerite is that, she prayed for the cure of a younger nun of the congregation who had fallen ill, the younger nun was cured miraculously on January 1st, 1700. But Marguerite fell ill with a raging fever and died soon thereafter on January 12, 1700.

She was declared as venerable in 1875 by Pope LEO-XIII. She was beatified in November 1950, by Pope Pius-XII and canonised on October 31st, 1982 by Pope John Paul-II.
