Maggie was my Mentor. She and I were Military passport agents covering 17 counties. If one of us called off sick, that made life harder for the other. She taught me teamwork. When Finette passed, I was there, for her (at work). I went through a nasty divorce and she was there for me, with beautiful advice. She knew how to teach me kindness through my pain. Maggie was a beautiful, kind, caring Lady. And, she taught kindness every day to anyone. I just found out today!

To the family and friends: I am a classmate of Maggie's from the Lucy C. Laney Class of 1965. It has been many years since I have seen her, but then I checked my yearbook. I remembered her right away someone who was so sweet and gentle. I pray for your comfort, healing and peace as you cherish her memory.

My sincerest and heartfelt condolences and prayers to the family and devoted loved ones and friends. May the Lord comfort and strengthen during this time of bereavement. Know that Sis. Maggie is now resting in the bosom of Christ Jesus, no longer with the world's cares and troubles. She is Home now.

Tony you have my deepest condolences. Your mother was my mother's BEST FRIEND. They worked together for years at Fort Gordon. Your mom would call my mother like clockwork to check on her and they would gossip and talk about whatever they had to say. They loved each other so much. She would call and sometimes I would answer the phone and tell her not to tell me any secrets because I'm Shaun not Ann. (Because I sound like my mom on the phone) I truly hate to hear of her passing. I know that she's in Gods care. She was truly a sweet sweet person. May God continue to comfort you during this time of bereavement. Shaun Cofer
