Maggie was born on October 24, 1962 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She grew up in Destin, FL before her and her family moved back here and settled in Steelton.

Maggie graduated from Steelton-Highspire High school in 1981, and found her calling as a server for the Eat'n Park Hospitality group where she touched many lives and made many lifelong friends. She was an avid gardener, reader, beach go-er (and tanner), a fantastic cook, and she loved arts and crafts. She used her skills in arts and crafts to raise money for the Four Diamonds Fund for years, organizing numerous charitable events for them. She was also a very proud mother, and found great joy in her daughters accomplishments.

Maggie will be remembered for her generosity, nerve, and kindness. As well as the courage with which she faced every day.
