I had the privilege to work with Ms. Maggie Buckner at Benton Elementary School. Her desire to include ALL children in school programs and clubs and making sure that All Benton families received excellent care gave me the encouragement to advocate for students and families. Maggie was so proud of her flock of children and teachers at Benton, and we felt her love as she encouraged parents to attend conferences, gathered books for children to read, and always honored the graduating 6th and then 5th grade classes with a beautiful ceremony at Douglass High School. Thank you so much Maggie, for helping me begin my career in teaching, and showing me how to speak up for others!
Recently Maggie’s son Bill told me, “Mama loved Benton and Benton loved Mama.” I couldn’t have expressed that sentiment better. Maggie was loved by all.
To the family of Mrs. Maggie L. Buckner, please know my heart and prayers are with you all. Such a cherish and loved angel to many. Was always a joy to meet, your beautiful smile we always remain in my heart. I love you Mrs. Maggie Lou.
Yvonnne, Margaret, & Bill, I am so sorry about your mother. You have my condolence. Ms. Maggie was such a dear sweet lady. You know our Heavenly Father Jehovah doesn’t want us to suffer in, anyway. That means to get sick grow old and die. That is not the way we were made. He wants us to live forever here on the earth, be young, produce children, take care of the earth. You all will see Ms. Maggie again real soon. She will be awakened from her sleep. When she is awakened from her sleep she will not suffer any more pain, will not grow old, she will be going back to her vigor of youth as Job 33:25. But all of mankind will be effected by these blessings from Jehovah. All suffering SOON TO END!!!! We need that so much. So you all take care until then. May Jehovah God keep his loving arms around you.
I Love You

Mrs. MaggieLou.
Guys your mother was a wonderful woman of God, she not only talked it, she walked it and I am not talking about something that I heard, because I saw it in her life. I remember when we were all neighbor’s at the age of 10 yrs. old, til I grew up. I saw her transition into that beautiful woman of God, believe me she was a true witness for God. She was a warrior for God and I know that you guys would not like for her labor, to be in vain.
Please remember that your mother loved you all so deeply and I am sure that you want to make her proud. We are all here but for a little while. There is a time and place for us all in God’s family, all we need to do is to take that step and move toward him.
I love you all and will continue to keep you guys in my prayers and will pray that you all will find that love which your Mom found, when she found that true love of God.
God Bless You All.
TO: THE FAMILY OF MAGGIE L. BUCKNER
Jesus is with you in your sorrow. He is with you always and will comfort you.
