Maggie lived all her life in Houston.  She graduated from Jeff Davis High School and worked for the Harris County Hospital District, worked as a draftsman, medical transcriptionist and in the court reporting business.

Always loyal to her family and friends and never forgot a birthday or anniversary, by acknowledging it with a card or phone call.

She was a member of St. Theresa Catholic Church for the last several years and was a long-standing member of All Saints Catholic Church.

She was a sports enthusiast, an avid fan of the Houston Astros and seldom missed a televised game.  Maggie loved to dance and listen to mariachi music. She also   never saw a good-looking car without commenting on it!
