Helen Margaret "Maggie" Ressler, age 85, went to be with her Lord on Tuesday, May 14, 2019 from her home in Shelby. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania she was the daughter of the late Mac and Helen McKinley. Maggie was a member of Northside Baptist Church. In addition to being a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother, Maggie was known for her love for Jesus. She believed in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His only Son Our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. On the third day he rose from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there he shall come again to judge the living and the dead.
Maggie believed in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Maggie had a sweet personality and was loved by people wherever she went.
