On December 26th, 2022, we suddenly lost our beloved daughter, sister, niece, cousin, and friend. After graduating from the MU Sinclair School of Nursing, Maggie went on to serve children in the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Chicago's Lurie Children's Hospital, and the Child & Adolescent Health Associates group, often working night shifts to provide care to kids when they needed it most. Throughout her academic and professional career, she received multiple distinctions and awards.
We are honoring Maggie's memory by continuing the chain of love, generosity, and service that she began. The Maggie Deiss Nursing Scholarship will support nursing students embodying Maggie’s excellence of character and commitment to serving others.
