I am a good friend of Maggie's from Waverly. We met each other at the thrift store in Waverly. I have just been informed of her passing on today which is Easter. My heart goes out to the family of Maggie. She was a dear person. The memories that I have of her are good memories. She was always seen walking to work or to the store in Waverly. When I saw her I would stop and pick her up. She was a dear friend to me. She will be missed!
