Maggie (Margaretann) Barbara
Weiss
Apr 22, 1950 — Apr 12, 2025
Maggie (MargaretAnn) Barbara Weiss, 74, formerly of Clinton Hollow and Gardiner, passed away peacefully on April 12, 2025, in Meadows at Brookmeade, Rhinebeck, New York.
Born on April 22, 1950, in Poughkeepsie, she was the daughter of the late William Frederick Weiss Sr. and Margaret Veronica (Roos) Weiss.
Maggie was a member of the FDR High School Class of 1968. Her first job was at Western Printing and Lithographing Company. A few years later, Maggie became a nurse's aide and cared for residents at the Wassaic Developmental Center. When Maggie moved to Ulster County, her love of children led her to become a teaching assistant at Head Start in New Paltz.
Maggie earned her Bachelor's Degree in Early Education at NYS Empire College and her Master's Degree in Social Work from Adelphi University. Completing her education was one of her proudest achievements.
Some of Maggie's volunteer work included Family of New Paltz, Habitat for Humanity, and she has also supported the SPCA for many years.
Maggie was an animal lover and referred to her animals as her babies. She loved to hike, bike, spend time with her dog, and could often be found watching her favorite sport, tennis.
Survivors include her siblings Bill Weiss Jr., Fred Weiss (Katherine), Star Snyder and John Weiss and is affectionately known as Aunt Mimi to three generations of nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her brother Steven Weiss and her nephew, Ian Weiss.
Following Maggie's wishes, cremation has taken place. There are no services scheduled at this time.
