I met Sister Maggie 25 or more years ago in St. Louis. We worked together on a number of projects. We were both deeply involved in issues about Central America, especially Nicaragua. She was a dear friend and I shall miss her tremendously.
I first knew Maggie when she was in NAWR leadership back in the 1970s. I loved her and admired her. In addition to her heart of service, she had class and pizzaz. A gift to all of us.
Maggie also was Program Coordinator of the St Louis Inter-Faith Committee on Latin America from 1987-1994.
She was a valiant advocate for social justice and human rights. It is appropriate that she left us on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
Yes,Maggie was a drum major for justice. When she could no longer march,she spent the last 8 years in constant prayer for President Barack Obama. So fitting that our Creator called home this faithful servant on Dr Martin Luther King Jr’s Day.
!Adelante compañera!
