Old Maisie

As a much loved former Town person of the year
Today for old Maisie many shed a tear
In life she performed her good deeds every day
And to help those in need of helping so often went out of her way
Predeceased by six years by her soul mate her husband of fifty five years Dave
Now together forever they share the same grave
Eight times a grandmother she died at eighty one
She gave life to and raised to adulthood two daughters and a son
A champion of good causes on her side of the town
Always helping the marginalized and the financially down
She left us with good stories of her life to tell
This morning it rang for her the farewell bell
Her friends and relations wept by her grave
As her coffin was lowered to earth to be with her husband Dave.
