Maggie Hardy

Maggie Hardy, nee Margery Anne Hunter, died Saturday June 25, 2011. Her husband of 61 years, Lt. Col. (Ret.) Earl (Moose) Hardy was at her side. She is survived by their seven children, their spouses, and 14 grandchildren. In the 45 years that she lived in San Antonio, Maggie was a highly regarded contributor and often instigator of activities in the San Antonio performing arts as well as multiple civic organizations. Maggie pursued careers in education, real estate, and family counseling. Of all her accomplishments, she was proudest of her seven children. Maggie was a remarkable, accomplished woman. She loved the family she made with her husband as well as the one she came from. She led a full life and she loved her life. Maggie never stopped learning things, never met someone she wasn't instant friends with, and never let anything stop her from doing what she wanted. She traveled the world, read and absorbed everything in sight, took on tasks no one else thought to do, valued everything and everybody, and looked forward to anything in her path. She was a force to be reckoned with and someone to emulate, respect, and admire. She was funny, smart, and beautiful and she was a good Mother, wife, and friend. Her family and friends will truly miss her. Ever the theatre grand dame, Maggie concluded, "She had a good run." She was especially grateful to Carol Ann's Home, VITAS Hospice, Dr. Santiago, and the staff at Cancer Care Center of South Texas in her final days. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society or the charity of choice. Funeral arrangements include a visitation at Mission Park Funeral Chapels North on Wednesday, June 29, 2011, 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM with a Celebration of her life at 7:00 PM. Mass will be held at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church at 223 E. Summit on Thursday morning June 30, 2011 at 10:30 AM.
