Magdalene was one of a kind and lived her life for her children. She was a perfectionist; her home was immaculate, and her flower beds were always beautiful. Magdalene was strong-willed but loving. The importance of family was instilled in her children and passed on to their children. Magdalene was a beautiful soul that will be missed dearly. Her time on earth was purposely filled with love and leaves a legacy behind. She is now reunited with her husband and she rests in the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
The family would like to extend their thanks to Robin and the staff at Haydel Memorial Hospice.
