Margery Hoffman Smith was born in 1888 to a prominent family in Portland, Oregon.

In the 1930s Mrs. Smith worked with the Works Progress Administration, supervising the hand craft work carried out for Timberline Lodge. Her later contributions to the Portland Art Museum and the Oregon School of Arts and Crafts greatly enhanced both institutions.
