Our Sweet Angel, Maggie Alyce Agnew, passed away peacefully on February 26, 2011 in her Mother and Father’s arms, surrounded by loved ones. She was born on June 18, 2008 in Salt Lake City, UT to Sean and Michelle Agnew. Although her life was short, her presence will leave a lasting impact on all those who knew her. She was an inspiration to so many people around her and will never be forgotten. Maggie was a spunky little girl who always knew what she wanted! While her body may have appeared weak her spirit was strong and full of life. She loved to cuddle with her Mom, watch football with her Dad and tease her brother and sister, as well as everyone around her! She loved her green binkies and red suckers. In fact there was rarely a time you would see her without one! She loved Princess Aurora and everything Pink! Maggie loved to be outside and loved to swing at Grandma’s house. She enjoyed going on walks with her family and visiting the ducks. Maggie was blessed with a wonderful family, amazing neighbors and friends and great nurses and doctors. We are so thankful for the time we had to spend with our sweet angel girl and will miss her so much!


We love you Mags, always and forever.


Maggie is survived by loving parents, Sean and Michelle; sister Hailey (6); brother Taveon (4); And many grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Maggie was in my parents' ward, and the Ashcrafts and Agnews have grown very close over the years. We are all peacefully heartbroken with Maggie's passing - she is finally free from her pain and suffering, but my heart hurts for her parents, family and friends. She was a tough little girl and I am better for knowing her. I am thankful to know that she will be reunited with her family one day. Thank goodness for the Gospel and for the Plan of Salvation. Because of it, we can have peace and know that everything will be alright.
