Maggie was born on January 31, 1940 in South Carolina to her mom Corine Williams. Shortly thereafter, she would move to New Jersey where she would grow up and complete her elementary and high school education and also take several college courses. Before retiring, Maggie worked many years as a unit secretary at the Jersey City Medical Center, Rahway Hospital, and Somerset Medical Center. It was at the Jersey City Medical Center that she would meet her husband Pat to whom she had been married to for the past 34 years. God blessed their marriage with a strong faith and a powerful and long lasting love.
Maggie was a devoted and faithful Christian and a member of the East Orange Church of Christ for many, many years. She always tried to put God first in her life and put her faith and trust in her Savior, Jesus Christ. Maggie put others before herself many times. She always tried to be a source of love and encouragement and would be there just to listen with a caring ear and heart.
Maggie leaves behind her husband Patrick Nalbach, son Jeffrey Gregory, daughters Zina Gregory-Henley and husband Johnnie, Annalisha Thomas and husband Greg, Chanda McGugan and husband Steve, Kykia Gregory-Davis and husband Danny. Her Grandchildren Denise Gregory, Patrick Gregory, Shantel Gregory, Krystal Gregory, Gregory Thomas, Nahid Gregory, Andrew McVeigh, Kaleb McVeigh, Angelic Thomas, Jeremy Thomas, Amir Gregory, Brianna McVeigh, Makayla McGugan, Skylar Davis and several great grandchildren. Loving in-laws Peter Nalbach and wife Deborah, Raymond Hughes and wife Elizabeth.
Maggie also leaves behind more loving relatives and friends, especially her dear friends Marlene Jinks and Pat Jones, and her loving cousin Mamie Hunt. She also leaves behind her loving and special family at the East Orange Church of Christ.
