She was born in Chicago, IL in 1949. She graduated from Lincoln University, Northern Illinois University, and the University of Washington. After serving in professional positions in several states, Maggie moved to Wayne County upon retirement from the faculty of the University of Kentucky in 2002. She was ardent volunteer throughout the county.

Maggie was known for her effervescent personality, her good humor and her infectious smile. She was inspirational to her fellow volunteers and truly caring for those she served.
One of Maggie's goals was to feed hungry people. In that spirit, memorial contributions may be made to the West Salem Outreach Food Pantry, P.O. Box 257, West Salem, Ohio 44287.
