Maggie was a tireless volunteer for Senior Support Services in South Surrey, donating her time to train others to help keep seniors in their own homes. In this position she made hundreds of phone calls each week to other seniors. The family would like to send their appreciation and thanks to the staff at West Shore Laylum in Ladner for their care, support and love to Maggie during her last few years. There will be a private family gathering to celebrate Maggie's life. In lieu of flowers, Maggie would appreciate donations to the CKNW Orphans' Fund
