“Aunt Maggie was a huge part of my life growing up in Alabama. I remember family dinners and holidays with both her and Granny flying around the kitchen. She took care of me when I had chickenpox. Maggie and Pat raised me after my mother passed away. I lived with them for years until I met my husband. She always supported me, and I always had somewhere to go back to. No matter how anyone chooses to look at it, she was family. She'll always be our Aunt Maggie.”

Larry Crozier wrote a sympathy message

“My Aunt Maggie was in my life for over 30 years. She wasn't just my Aunt but a valued and cherished friend. She was the only one who enjoyed watching food shows or spook shows with me. We'd talk about our pets, flowers, and funny but not unkind stories about family. Her strength and resilience always impressed me. Words cannot express how much I'll miss her.”
