Maggie Secara, RIP

Sad news on my feeds last night. Maggie Secara, writer, editor, and costumer died suddenly Friday night.

Maggie was a long-time denizen of the word-pc mailing list. We never met in person, but I had many productive email exchanges with her over the years. She will be remembered by many technical writers as the person who discovered a simple technique for cleaning up corrupted Word documents, now known as "the maggie" or "maggieing".

She was active in the Renaissance Faire and SCA and in recent years had written a series of fantasy novels.

She will be missed.
