April 8, 1966 ~ March 21, 2016
Margaret Ellen Allshouse (Maggie) currently of Universal City, Texas, was born on April 8, 1966 in Chicago, Illinois to Jacqueline Hoffman and Lother Heckel and grew up just across the border in Wisconsin. She was the youngest of six children (Michael, Mark, Mary, Martin, Matthew, and Margaret). She met her husband Michael James Allshouse (Mike), of Youngstown, Ohio, on September 12, 1986 in Minot, North Dakota on his first day of assignment to Minot Air Force Base. Maggie was living with her Mother and Step-Father, Allan Hoffman, at the time. They dated for a year when Mike was then assigned to Osan Air Base in the Republic of Korea. They stayed in touch throughout that tour and then Mike returned to the states in December of 1989. Finally in 1991, Mike and Maggie re-united in Enon, Ohio while Mike was stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. On 14 August, 1993 they wed and now have four children: Patrick Michael (Punkin), Veronica Lizabeth (Lisbeth) (Baby Doll), Michael Gunther (Sweet Pea), and Sara Dorothy (Boo). Being a US Air Force family, they have lived all over the world to include Ohio, Mississippi, Alabama, Guam, Turkey, Virginia, Nebraska, and Texas and have traveled to even more locations on multiple continents. Maggie has been very active in the communities she has lived in and has been recognized for her work to include being the 14th Flying Training Wing's Spouse of the Year, the 39th Wing's nominee for the prestigious Joan Orr Air Force Spouse of the Year, she has been commissioned as a Yellow Rose of Texas by the Texas Governor, Greg Abbott, has had proclamations passed in her name by the Guam Senate and the Village Council of Inarajan and has received personal letters of encouragement from various dignitaries to include former President George W. Bush. Maggie is survived by her husband Mike, her children Patrick, Veronica, Michael, and Sara, her mother Jackie Hoffman, father Lou Heckel and his wife Carol, brothers Mike, Mark, Marty, and Matt Heckel, sister Marybeth Unger, her niece, whom she considered a daughter, Meegan Fiedler and her family, husband Eli, son Nic, and daughter Kiki, and her nephew, whom she considered a son, Christopher Heckel and his children Taylor, Abbigail, and Ashley Heckel, and Kylee Schneider. She is also survived by not-her-daughter Drew Carrington, and many other nieces, nephews, cousins, and in-laws all whom meant the world to her. Maggie will always be remembered as a giver and never a taker as all she ever wanted to do was to help others. She will be deeply missed by family and friends alike but our loss is heaven's gain as we are sure she is serving her world famous cheesecake up there right now.

Maggie- You welcomed me into the Air Force family with open arms, you encouraged me to join the ROSC when I wasn’t too sure, you supported me while my husband was deployed, and you and your family welcomed me into your home for the holidays. I will always remember your kindness, your crazy humor, and your zest for life! Thank you for being my friend. With love until we meet again- Paula Chadwell- Musolino
To the friends and family of Margaret Ellen Allshouse…I came across a scripture found in God’s word the Bible in the book of Acts 24:15 which reads: And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. I hope this scripture brings you comfort and know that this is a promise that God gives us for the future. My condolences go out to your family and friends. Mrs. Aguirre
Ms. Margaret, You were always so kind and generous. We will miss you. You are in your Father’s hands now. Rest well.
