Aunt Maggie always had a smile for you when you saw her. I loved her laugh and fun spirit. Kim Wieland

Will miss her great laugh. I remember her laughing about our dog Mrs. Gilly being a terrible watchdog. Aunt Maggie had car trouble and stopped at our house on Madison Rd. to use the phone. No one was home so she used the phone and left and Gilly never got off the couch!
I won't be able to make the service, but will be thinking of you guys and remembering all the fun we had growing up in this wonderful family. Godspeed Aunt Margaret, love you. Chrissy.
