I just now heard of Marg passing. We were classmates at Kuemper, class of 66. I would invite her to stay with me whenever there was a home game. We lost touch after graduation. Every reunion I would search for her, but she never came. Mary her cousin would always attend so I was able to keep up with her a little.
I dont have to tell you what a wonderful person she was, for you already know. May she RIP.

So very sorry to hear about Maggie. I've known her a long time. I saw her several years ago and she was in good spirits and looked good despite her health. She was such a good person with such a big heart. She had the best smile and the best laugh.
She always made everyone feel special which is why she was such a dedicated nurse. She loved helping others and was always willing to lend a hand. I always asked her about her kids and she loved talking about them. She was very proud of them. She will be truly missed since she touched so many lives. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. God Bless you and your family.

So very sorry to hear about Marg. We were roommates for the last two years at Marycrest College. Have some wonderful memories & photos from our college experience! We studied hard & had some all nighters but had a lot of fun too. She was a bridesmaid in our wedding. Two years after our graduation, our paths crossed again as we both lived in MN. Marg was a very special person. My thoughts & prayers are with you.

Margie - as I knew her was our babysitter back in the Vail, Ia days. She was quick to laugh and would let us stay up late if we were good. I'm not sure what the going rate for babysitting 6 kids was, but she was priceless. Rest peacefully, Maggie.

I'm so very sorry to learn of Maggie's passing. I've been a neighbor just a few houses down the street for the 10+ years that Maggie lived here. She and I would see each other fairly often during the week as we were both out walking our fur babies... my Pippa (and Izzy before her) and Zoey were good friends. Maggie was so friendly (and always well dressed, styled & fashionable, I might add), I always enjoyed chatting with her. She will truly be missed in our neighborhood. My prayers go out to her entire family, for God's comfort and peace to embrace you. Please give Zoey an extra snuggle from me.

Maggie was the hardest working nurse I ever met. My son, Skyler, went to school with one of her kids and we bonded over that. She use to look so serious, but when she smiled or laughed she'd light up the room. Maggie will be greatly missed. My condolences to her family.

Tom and I were so sorry to hear of your loss. We had heard that she was ill but didn't realize it had advanced to this point. She and I got into trouble more than once in high school. She was also an attendant in our wedding. Good times. Fond memories for me and may your families have only fond memories of your mother, grandmother and sister.
