Piqua Daily Call dated 26-Dec-2010
Lethea D. Maggert, "Cookie" age 83, of Lena passed away peacefully December 
26, 2010 at Heartland of Piqua. She was born on February 9,1927 in Rossburg, 
Ohio to the late Everett and Mary (Boze) McEowen. Lethea married her childhood 
sweetheart, Donald Alan Maggert, on April 25,1943.
They had a double ceremony with friends in Newbern, NC while Donald was 
stationed at Camp Battle. Completely devoted to each other, their marriage was 
a 67-year storybook romance. Lethea worked for two years at Atlas Underwear in 
Piqua while Donald was serving in WWII. When he returned she spent the rest of 
her life doing what she loved best, being a loving wife, mother, and 
homemaker. Lethea was an avid seamstress, and also loved to crochet. She was a 
member of the Lena Baptist Church and a past member of the Eastern Star. Being 
the daughter of a barber she became the amateur "neighborhood beautician," and 
enjoyed doing her friends and neighbors hair. She will always be remembered as 
a sweet and gentle lady who loved to laugh, yodel and have fun. She has been 
such a positive influence on so many people. She will be greatly missed.
Lethea is survived by her husband of 67 years, Donald A. Maggert "Donnie"; 
sons, Roger Maggert, Sr. of Lena; Brad (Betty) Maggert of Troy; daughter, Dona 
(John) Houser of Piqua; grandchildren, Roger (Kelly) Maggert, Jr. of Lena; 
Michael (Stephanie) Maggert of Christiansburg; Jamie (Danielle) Maggert of 
Connersville, PA; Scott (Crystal) Neargarder of Piqua; Joe (Ryan) Neargarder 
of Troy; Dustin Maggert and Josh Maggert, both of Piqua; and many great 
grandchildren. Lethea was preceded in death by her twin brother, Lester 
McEowen, brother, Johnny McEowen and a sister Beatrice Crust.
Funeral services will be held on Thursday at 11 a.m. in the Suber-Shively 
Funeral HomE, 201 W. Main Street, Fletcher, Ohio with Pastor Ed Sollenberger 
of the Lena Baptist Church presiding. Burial will follow in Fletcher Cemetery
