Loving daughter of Brian and Catherine Deiss. Cherished sister of Mary "Molly" Deiss (Fiancé Patrick Winter) and brother Matthew Deiss.
Maggie was the dear niece of many aunts and uncles and is survived by numerous cousins.
Maggie was a nurse and received her undergraduate education at the University of Missouri Sinclair School of Nursing. She went on to pursue her professional healthcare career at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Lurie Children's Hospital, and the Child & Adolescent Health Associates in Chicago.
She is remembered as a bright light in the lives of family, friends, and all those she met. Maggie will be dearly missed.
Visitation will begin Monday, January 2nd, 2023, at 10:00 am at Notre Dame Catholic Church in Clarendon Hills, followed by Mass 11:00 am. Services will conclude at the church.
Private family interment will be at Calvary Catholic Cemetery, Evanston.

Truly blessed to have known Maggie. I thought of her as a real life Disney princess. She was definitely put on earth for a reason and in a short time she's put a smile on so many faces. RIH.

I taught Maggie at Hinsdale Central High School, and, yes, she was indeed a bright light. I can only echo what others will say about her smile and her unflagging good will. She certainly had a positive impact on those around her even as a teenager, and I am sure she became a loving adult who was surrounded by light. She will be missed.

Maggie was a shining light. Caring for others was always so top of mind for her, and she was so positive and bubbly that you wondered how a person with that much love for others could even exist. Her genuine sweetness will never be forgotten. I was blessed to have known Maggie as a friend through high school and college.

Maggie was an absolute delight to train and work with at Vanderbilt. She was kind, her clinical skills were excellent and she brought joy to our unit. Her patients loved her and we did too.

Maggie was such a lovely person to be around. She brightened every room she walked into. She could cheer-up the unhappiest people. What a beautiful person. I worked with her at Vanderbilt and we missed her so much when she moved on to another job. I am terribly sorry for her family and every one that will miss out on getting to meet Maggie. I´m praying for peace for her family.

I worked with Maggie at Vanderbilt. She was always smiling and positive, even on tough days. I know she made her patients smile even when they were scared or going through tough times. I was so sad when she left but knew she wanted to be close to family again. So sorry for your loss, she will be missed.
