She was a member of the Saint Martin Catholic Community at Fort Belvoir. She enjoyed traveling with her husband and friends, hosting parties, playing bridge, cheering for the Washington Redskins, discussing politics and spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will be remembered for her great sense of style, her ability to always be the life of the party, and her strength and courage in facing her 25+ year battle with cancer.Beside her husband, Mrs. Maglin is survived by their three children: William Henry Maglin II (Sue), Sandie Chase Curtis (Steve) and Mary Grace Dinolfo (Mike); five grandchildren: Stephanie Chase Curtis, Andrew Graham Curtis (Sarah), Toni Lynn Dinolfo, Michael Chase Dinolfo and Holly Christine Maglin; and, three great-grandchildren: Cameron, Jordan and Aubrey.
