After living in California and a short time in Iraq, Maggie returned to Iowa with her children and eventually resettled in Illinois. She earned her associate’s degree in addictions counseling, a bachelor’s in sociology and a master’s in marital and family therapy and spent many years working at Catholic Charities in Wheaton, IL before retiring back to Iowa to focus on her passions of astrology, politics, gardening and music. She was a syndicated columnist under the name of AstroMaggi and provided daily content on astrology for AOL and the New York Times, and had also been quoted in the Wall Street Journal. Maggie was an active supporter of progressive causes, Seed Savers Exchange and Prairie Woods Spirituality Center. She loved animals and never turned down accepting another’s unwanted pet. Maggie was also welcoming to friends and family, providing a warm meal or a place to stay when needed.
She will be greatly missed.
