Maggie received her Associates Degree in Nursing from Grossmont College in 1972 and served as a nurse in the Air Force in San Antonio, Texas from 1974-1976.

She received her Bachelor's degree in nursing in 1979 from the University of San Diego. She was married to Orlo Kreutz from 1981-2000 and they had two daughters, Tanya and Carrie.

Maggie is survived by Tanya and Manny Navarro and Carrie and Richard Kreutz-Landry.
