When Maggie returned to the States, she lived and was employed in Chicago. She didn't like the cold winters, and decided to move to Los Angeles, CA, where she worked at Western Carloading Terminal as an assistant auditor. She held this position for 30 years. Upon retirement, Maggie moved to Oceanside, CA, buying a condo in a large complex. She lived there until she became ill in June of 1999.
