Maggie (Marguerite Aimee nee: Ulbert) Thompson, was welcomed into the world by Cathleen Tuohey and Robert Ulbert on October 11, 1984 in Phoenix, Arizona before they returned home to Des Plaines, IL. 

Maggie bloomed at the speed of light and with just as much effervescence. As an early talker, Maggie never met a stranger, just a friend she hadn’t talked to yet. Maggie’s magnetic personality won her many friends as she progressed through school; she was even selected class president on a day she was out sick. 

Her love of sports naturally paved the way to a cheerleading career where she became a team leader, guiding the team to better understand the game as she called out the difference between offensive and defensive cheers. Maggie found a lasting friendship there with Sylvia; together they created cheers and kept morale up at team events. 

Maggie’s life centered on friendship and joy; you could as easily find her playing a game at a park or dancing at a concert as you could find her nestled among her friends in cozy confines of her basement room. Although, if her sisters were having trouble finding Maggie, they needed only to follow the phone cord stretched throughout the corners of the house to find her cheerfully discussing the day’s events with friends. Often referred to as “Mama Maggie," she always had kind advice to offer, gently guiding her friends toward more thoughtful paths.

After transferring to Marquette University, Maggie met Allie and they became joined at the hip as Sorority Sisters. If they weren’t planning Sorority events, they could be found in downtown Milwaukee, dancing the night way.

In her last semester at Marquette, she met her life partner, Justin Thompson. They started their adventure by moving to Mississippi, adopting their beloved dog, Stoli, and eventually moving back to Wisconsin and marrying on May 16, 2009. In Justin, Maggie found her soulmate; a person who understood and loved her for exactly who she was. Together, they navigated life as the best of friends.

Maggie’s career reflected the love and care she put into every aspect of her life. Over the years, Maggie was selected to lead many projects, winning well deserved recognitions from colleagues and managers. In 2017, she joined the Harley Davidson Motor Company, where she found a true home and made many friends who became extended family. Maggie was the Lead of Business Insights in the Service Organization. She excelled working on highly complex data projects and was a trusted advisor to all. 

As a die-hard Chicago sports fan, Maggie was thrilled to cheer on her Cubs to a World Series victory. Maggie enjoyed taking scenic motorcycle rides, traveling, camping, designing and completing home projects, and spending time with animals of all kinds. 

Maggie will always be remembered as the brightest light in the room, with a captivating smile that will never be forgotten. Although the world feels a little darker today for us all, Maggie’s light has been set free, illuminating us all with the joy and love she exuded throughout her life. 

Maggie is survived by her partner: Justin Thompson, cherished pets: Martini, Potato, and Pancake, her parents: Cathleen Tuohey (Howard Hendricksen), and Robert Ulbert, sisters: Renee Tuohey, Caitlyn (Daniel) Szymanski, Emily (Matthew) Mueller, and Aimee Tuohey (Joe Bennett), brother: Arlo (Liz) Ulbert.
