Maggie enjoyed crocheting stuffed animals and baby doll clothes for her grandchildren. She never went a day without reading her newspaper.

She loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was always loving and kind to everyone. No matter what trial or tribulation was in her life, she never complained. Maggie always found the good in everyone and everything. She was the most caring, kindest, sweetest lady, you could ever know. She blessed the lives of everyone that knew her. She will truly be missed.
