Maggie Amanda Yeager

Maggie Amanda Yeager departed her earthly home on Thursday, May 14, 2020.  Maggie was born June 18, 1990 to Carol Mummert Yeager and Frank F. Waugh, Jr.  One minute earlier, her twin sister Jacqueline was born. In true Gemini fashion, they were bona-fide twins who were inseparable.

Maggie lived in Falmouth, VA until they relocated to Roanoke in the 5th grade. Maggie graduated from Patrick Henry High School in 2008; alongside her twin and lifelong friends Taylor Nutt, Brittin Webb, Alyson Slate, Corey Eubank, and Jamie White.

Maggie leaves behind her 9 year-old daughter, Jennifer Lynn Garst Yeager, her Grandmother Ke Waugh, her parents Carol Yeager and Frank Waugh with wife Susan, her brother John Yeager III with wife Jill, her sister Jacqueline Yeager and Joe Munt, Sister Katarina Waugh, and Brothers Donavan Waugh, Matthew Garr, and Shaun Michel Sindoni. She is also survived by many co-parents; Penny Morrison, Jo Kuba and Aggie Curry. Maggie is also survived by so many “might as well be” brothers and sisters, numerous nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins who will all have the task of keeping her alive in our hearts.

Everyone who knew Maggie knew she believed, with her whole heart, “It’s not the about the storm, it’s about learning to dance in the rain”.  A Celebration of Maggie’s Life will be held Saturday, May 23 at 2pm. The service will be held at her home in Roanoke, VA.  Please contact her family for details. A Trust Fund has been established for her daughter, and anyone wanting to make donations may make checks payable directly to Jennifer Lynn Garst Yeager.
