Mary Magdeline "Maggie" Hayes
Easley, SC
Ms. Maggie, 91, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, August 15, 2015.
She was born on August 25, 1923 in Saluda, North Carolina, a daughter to the late Clyde and Dora Pace.
Ms. Maggie was a Christian who loved serving the Lord and was a member of Rock Springs Baptist Church. She was very compassionate and was always helping others. The Lord and her family were the most important things to her in this life.
She was a very outgoing and loving person who blessed others. She spent many hours visiting shut-ins weekly, and volunteered her time at local nursing homes and to the Alzheimer's Association. She enjoyed many hobbies, including playing the piano, singing, clogging, cooking, photography, working with crafts and flowers, and was an avid reader.
Ms. Maggie graduated from Travelers Rest High school. She worked in various fields over the years. In 1984 she returned to school and obtained her Certified Nursing Assistant certification from Donaldson Vocational Center. She most enjoyed her work in the nursing field and especially in home health, eventually retiring from that same field.

She is also survived by two sisters, Kathleen Green and Vernell Dixon. She was blessed with 14 grandchildren, 28 great grandchildren, and 3 great-great grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her first husband, Hubert Hawkins, and her second husband, Roy Hayes; three brothers, Grady Harold Pace, John Pace and Stanley Pace; one sister, Cydee Pace, and two special sons-in-law, Rufus Durham and David Stegbauer.
