Marjorie Peacock Maples

Margie Maples, 90 of Acworth, GA, was called home to be with her Lord and Savior on March 3, 2022, just days after her husband of 63 years, Hewlett “Hugh” Maples was laid to rest.

Margie was born on March 15, 1931, to Charlie Edward Peacock and Lucy Patterson of Moultrie, GA.  As the only daughter in a family of six children, Margie was dedicated to her family, caring for her mother in her final years.  She married Hugh Maples on Valentine’s Day 1959.  Over the next eight years, they welcomed a daughter and two sons.  

Margie was proud to pursue post-secondary education, taking part in a secretarial program in the late 1950s where she learned shorthand - a talent that she was able to continue throughout her life.  In addition to being a caring mother at home to her three children, Margie worked as an administrative assistant for companies such as Swift & Company, The Hoover Company, and Amoco.  Margie was passionate about sewing and gardening.  But above all she counted her family as her greatest blessing.  

Margie is survived by her daughter, Cheryl Martin of Acworth, GA; two sons Steven Maples of Acworth, GA, and Glenn Maples of Atlanta, GA; grandson Matthew Martin of Pike Road, AL; and brother Medford Peacock of Dallas, TX.

Margie will be laid to rest on Sunday afternoon, joining her husband, in a private service for the family.  In memory of Margie, remembrances can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association.
