Maggie was always very active in the Nazarene Church and was an avid shopper. She enjoyed cooking, holidays, and family gatherings. In her younger years she enjoyed volunteering in voter registrations and the food bank. She worked for Bruno’s Little Italy for around twenty years and loved all her customers.

She was very fond of her nephews John and Lonnie Kennedy, and a special note of gratitude to John Kennedy for his numerous years of caring, attention, and love for our mother during her years of illness. Our thanks to Robinson Nursing Home for the care of our mother.
