I just learned of Maggie’s passing. I only worked with her a short time but she made me feel like a friend. What a kind person Maggie was and the world surely has a huge void now that she is gone.

Maggie was my true hero and a fighter until the bitter end. She was devoted and committed to my brother, their sons and loved her grandchildren. In marriage, she was in it for the long haul with unconditional love no matter what obstacles came her way. When adversary pushed her she tackled them and persevered. She was a loving and caring person and lets not forget a true trooper as she cheered for on for her favorite football team. Yes, Maggie was one of a kind and I will miss her dearly. Her legacy to me is to continue the good fight and push back on life when it pushes at you. Thank you sister-in-law for the major contribution you have made to our family. Your unconditional love and commitment to my brother as a wife for the past 42 years, is what all of us are searching for and hope to one day experience in this journey of life. I will always love you and carry you in my heart wherever I go.

Maggie was truly a beautiful soul. She was a great friend to me. She was a very caring and thoughtful person. I had the pleasure of knowing her family. She was so proud of them. She beamed with joy when talking and sharing pictures of her grandchildren. We carpooled together for work for years. We ate lunch together almost daily. I will miss my dear friend. Heaven has gained another angel.

Maggie was one of the kindest, warmest and most genuine people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. We worked together at CMA CGM America during her entire career there and she was a top notch Premiere Customer Service Representative. Maggie’s customers and colleagues loved her. She truly made a difference, and contributed to many people’s lives. There was never a time when Maggie wouldn’t ask me if she could bring me back a Juniors cheesecake during her many travels to New York, as well as for her entire team. Maggie, you will always be in my heart and soul and I will never forget you. Rest peacefully my friend. My warmest condolences to all of Maggie’s family and friends. ❤️

What our families say...

In my opinion, there is no better facility in Virginia than Altmeyer Funeral Homes. Not only was Chris Sisler there to hold my hand every step of the way, his family members were holding the door on the day of the funeral to help and encourage me. I will never forget their grace. He led me and my family through the process as a personal friend and neighbor, and as the ultimate professional.
