Maggie Elizabeth Wilkinson's Obituary
Maggie Elizabeth Wilkinson (Dice), passed peacefully, her family's love surrounding her on June 11, 2025, at the age of 86. Maggie was born to John and Rose (Alexander) Dice on May 16, 1939. She married Wesley Wilkinson December 16, 1972; they shared 31 years of marriage. She loved Jesus with all her heart. Her children and grandchildren were her greatest joy. She loved to pick up little trinkets for everyone-eagles, wolves, frogs, chickens, teddy bears, old trucks- she knew what everyone loved. She baked a special birthday cake for each family member's birthday- always your favorite flavor. She loved her church family and friends; always doing anything she could to help anyone who needed help. She loved crafting, but her joy was in the sharing of her crafts. For many more years we will see these items share memories and feel the love that she put into each plastic canvas spinner, painted ladybug, or flower arrangement bicycle wheel. She enjoyed working in her flower gardens and sharing her flowers; her flowers continue to grow in flower beds of family and friends.She is preceded in death by her Husband Wesley Wilkinson, Daughter Cheryl Wing, Brother Joel Dice, Sister Jean Hopkins, Sister Dorothy Simmons, Brother Lloyd Fabel, Granddaughter Jamie Hitsman, Great Grandson Korbin Waldron and Parents John and Rose.She is survived by her sons Buck Walikangas of St. Louis, Bill and Tammy Hitsman of Mt.
