Maggie was a woman with strong faith and she was a faithful servant to God. Maggie worked at Taylor Elementary School for over 25 years- where she loved working with kids. She served special needs children, and loved to teach art and do art projects.

Maggie was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, friend, and community member who loved deeply and unconditionally. She was a gentle and kind woman. Never one to harbor anger and was an outstanding example of practicing patients. Maggie was someone who was always there to listen and had more love to give than one knew what to do with. The best way to describe Maggie is “soft”. She was soft in the most beautiful and harmonious of ways. Maggie was a woman with grace and was graceful in all aspects of her life. She enjoyed spending time with many of her lifelong friends, playing cards, going to bible study, and spending time with her grandchildren. Maggie is well known for her various collections including M&M candy figurines, lighthouses, and otters.
