Maggie was a devote Catholic and was a life-time member of St. Ann’s Christian Mother’s Society at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church and spent many hours in devotion with our Lord. Her hobbies included canning and cooking, gardening, baking, sewing, waltz dancing and spending time with the entire family at the farm in Falls City.
