Maggie Lee Flowers

Maggie Lee Flowers, 93, of Quitman, died on Saturday, September 26, 2015 at her daughter's residence following a brief illness. She was born on October 21, 1921 in Pelham, Georgia to the late Francis Marion and Susan Marlow Hampton Meads. Mrs. Flowers was employed for 43 years as a seamstress with the Levi Strauss Company and was of the Baptist faith. Mrs. Flowers was indeed a character and when she met someone, that person never forgot her. She was the epitome of determination, and sought to make sure her family was taken care of. She had a big heart and never turned any one away who was in need. Outside of working and her family, her other passion was her garden and she worked tirelessly to grow the best of anything she planted. Mrs. Flowers was a member of ACTWU #714.
