Maggie was born Aug. 2, 1939, in Lincoln City, Ore.

She was employed as a bookkeeper, certified nurse aide and medical transcriptionist.

Maggie had many self-taught talents, including knitting, crocheting, embroidery, gardening, baking and cooking.

She loved music of all kinds, taking pictures, Burger King fries, Subway sandwiches and ice cream. Maggie also loved a picnic, a party and a quite night a home with the Three Stooges and long naps.

Most of all, Maggie loved her grandchildren. They were her joy. She knew she’d been blessed.
