Maggie was born on July 5, 1934 in Platteville, Wisconsin, the daughter of Clarence and Frieda (Engelke) Kamps. She was united in marriage to Ronald Bockhop on August 1, 1950 at St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Dubuque, Iowa. He preceded her in death on April 25, 2020. Maggie worked at Burgess Battery for many years, she also detasseled corn and worked at the Cobb Canning Factory, which she and Ron did together for several years. Most recently, Maggie drove for the Belmont School District, which she did for over 25 years. Maggie was a natural caregiver, anyone that she saw was in need of help in any way, she took them under her wing; whether it be her parents or families in the area, she was always there in a time of need. She was a very dedicated and loving mother and grandmother as well. In her free time, Maggie enjoyed cooking, going fishing with Ron and family, and spending time at their cabin at River of Lakes, Bagley. She was also an avid Badger and Packers fan, and always a Russell Wilson fan!
