Maggie (as she was known to family and friends) loved company and family outings.  She made the best fried chicken and potato salad for all the family picnics.  Maggie was a kind and loving woman, who prayed for everyone.  She was very happy whenever she saw Father Wilhelm.  She enjoyed riding around and having an ice cream cone.  She also enjoyed looking at the Christmas lights during the holidays.  She loved all animals and would feed them.  She had a special attachment to her niece (Jeannie) and her 2 little dogs.  They would spend a lot of time going to the park in the summer and listening to music.  She always had sweets (goodies) for her company on her table and of course for herself.  Maggie also used to clean and process geese/ducks for the hunters in the fall, with her mother, sister and brother-in-law.
