"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race and I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7-8. A loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, Mamie Ann Maggio Bourgeois, 76, passed away peacefully on Sunday, Jan. 16, 2011, with her family at her bedside. She retired from Crawford and Co. Insurance Adjuster Co. She is survived by her wonderful, loving husband, R.J. Bourgeois, and their children, Terri Hobgood and husband K.C., Jerry Bourgeois and wife Karyn, and Randy Bourgeois and wife Jennifer; and a granddaughter whom she loved with all of her heart and soul, Kimberly Alexis Bourgeois. In addition, she has seven more grandchildren. Michael and Kelli Hobgood, Brandi Chapman and husband Eric, Brittni and Brooke Bourgeois, Kallie Bourgeois and Giovanni Deluca; great-grandchildren, Dylan, Dalin and Bailee Chapman and Presli Bourgeois; and stepgreat-grandchild, Kynleigh Ellisor. She is also survived by her brother, Nick Maggio and wife Joann; and sister, Josie Gibson and husband Bobby; along with many nieces, nephews, cousins and a multitude of friends. Her love for her family was immeasurable and she always gave of herself freely without ever having to be asked.
