Maggie and Clarence owned and operated Key Drive Inn Grocery in Houston and she later retired as receptionist from Harris County Civil Courts. She was a devout Catholic who cherished her upbringing in a huge Italian family. She loved to cook and nurture others and saw the best in everyone.
She was happiest when all were gathered together eating, singing and laughing. Beautiful inside and out, with a quick wit, she enjoyed sharing old memories, and keeping up with her family and friends.
GrandMargaret made a lasting impact on her Grands who adored their prayer warrior and biggest cheerleader! All will miss her everyday.
A Memorial Mass of Christian Burial for Margaret will be held Friday, January 12, 2024 at 10:00 AM at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, 2541 Earl Rudder Freeway, College Station, Texas 77845.
