Maggie Kirin, 68, of Winter Haven, FL., beloved mother, grandmother, and friend died peacefully Sunday, February 10, 2019 in Lake Wales, at Grace Healthcare, where she was a loved resident since December 2016.
Maggie was born February 24, 1950 in Melrose Park, IL. She was a “surprise!” twin. Maggie spent the majority of her life living in sunny Florida; prior to that she spent some self- described “traumatizing” formative years in frigid Alaska.
Maggie was a Registered Nurse spending her entire career working at Regency Medical Center in the NICU. She blessed many families’ lives with her love, sense of humor and passion for her work. She blessed her co-workers with the same and additionally with her outspokenness and fierce opinions.
Maggie was a free spirit. She loved travel, both foreign and domestic. She was always up for an adventure. Theater was one of her early loves and she spent time in the 1980’s running the soundboard for plays and musicals for Winter Haven Community Theater. Maggie loved to sing; whether at church, karaoke, or belting Melissa Manchester on car rides. She was often the life of the party and head mischief maker.
Later in life, she loved to be online, playing her games and making friends from all over the world. One of her favorite pastimes was sitting on her lanai with her I-pad, dogs, and cats by her side.
Speaking of animals, Maggie never met a stray she didn’t love (or keep).
To know Maggie was to love her. She left a lasting impression on everyone that had the good fortune to cross her path. Her physical presence will be missed beyond measure; however her spirit will live on through all of those that knew her best in countless stories of love and laughter.
Maggie is survived by her daughter, Lauren of Winter Haven, sons Kevin of Satellite Beach and Steven of Winter Haven; grandchildren Dylan and Carsyn; twin brother Bob of Callahan, Fl., and sister Wendy of Oaxaca, Mexico. She was preceded in death by her eldest brother, John. She was joined in death by her elder sister Nancy, on February 18, 2019.
