2. She began her career at the hospital as a nursing assistant in progressive care and became an RN in 1991. She most recently worked in EAMC’s endoscopy unit.

“Everybody loved Maggie because she made it easy to love her, and like her. The Bible says the righteous will be remembered forever; I would like to say I believe that to be true about our Maggie.
