Maggie was a hard working woman who loved people, enjoyed life and had a fondness for nature and animals. In addition to being a homemaker, she worked in the food service industry much of her life. She enjoyed working in her yard and voluntarily caring for her neighbor's dog and cats. A good day for her involved going to town shopping, while being accompanied by the neighbor's dog. Both enjoyed the outing! She was an avid San Francisco Giants fan never missing a televised game.
