Clarke. She also leaves behind a host of nieces and nephews.

Maggie's love was  unending. Regardless of whether you were family or friend. When you became a friend of hers you were a friend for life. She loved gardening, shopping flowers, traveling, partying and most of all she loved the casinos. Several years ago upon retiring, she began going on cruises which she also loved. Maggie had a passion for dressing, having her hair and nails done at all times. Maggie lived and loved life to the fullest. She wanted to experience all that life had to offer when she retired. Her long term plan was to one day return to Grenada to live and once again call Grenada "HOME". The one thing that everyone knew about Maggie is that she loved the  big city and could not leave the noise and constant hustle and bustle. Her Brother Ron, tried convincing her to relocate to Florida where he resided and her statement to him was, "I won't hear the police, fire and ambulance sirens". "How am I to sleep in peace?" Visiting for a week or so was OK but not much longer.

Maggie was definitely taken from us too soon and will be greatly missed by all who came to know her. She will forever be in our hearts.
