Maggie was a member of Central United Methodist Church and the Chapter of the National Chrysanthemum Society. She had been employed by Alabama Hosiery Mills and Monsanto Corporation in Decatur and Rohm and Haas Company in Huntsville.

She is survived by her daughter, Sylvia P. (LeRoy) Hirsch of Phoenix, Ariz.; and son, Phillip (Carol) Powell of Birmingham; four grandchildren, Clifford R.

The family will receive guests at Central United Methodist Church in Decatur beginning at 1:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon with the memorial service to begin at 2 p.m.
Maggie loved raising and sharing her mums, irises, bulbs and clippings with everyone so the family ask that in lieu of flowers or donations, to please share flowers with someone today.
Ridout's Brown-Service assisted the family.
