Maggie Lynn Vandiver

Maggie Lynn Vandiver, 59, of Junction City, Kansas, passed away peacefully on October 30, 2025. Born on July 19, 1966, in Muskogee, Oklahoma, to Homer Beaver and Caroline McDonald-Rickman, Maggie grew up surrounded by the warmth of family and the vibrant community of Muskogee. Maggie attended the Muskogee Public School Systems, where she formed lifelong friendships and embraced the values of kindness and togetherness that she carried throughout her life. On April 25, 1992, Maggie married her soulmate, Andrew Hunter Vandiver, in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Together, they built a loving home filled with laughter, holiday traditions, and a deep appreciation for family. Maggie cherished every moment spent with her children and grandchildren, making family gatherings and celebrations truly special. Maggie’s love for the holidays, especially Halloween and Christmas, was evident in the way she decorated her home and delighted in the magic of Christmas lights. She found joy in simple pleasures—dancing to 80s and 90s music with her grandkids, savoring Chinese food, and spending time outdoors on her porch. She loved going to Chuck E. Cheese with her kids and grandkids, creating lasting memories filled with fun and laughter. Vacation time meant hours swimming in the pool, taking scenic train rides, and enjoying the tranquility of the lake. Being together as a family was very important to her. Maggie will be remembered for her infectious smile, her love of music and dancing, and her unwavering devotion to her family. She leaves behind a legacy of warmth, joy, and togetherness that will continue to inspire all who knew her. Maggie was preceded in death by her mother, Caroline Rickman; stepmother, Wanda Beaver; grandparents, Caleb and Maggie Beaver. She is survived by her husband, Andrew Vandiver of Junction City, KS; children, Fallon Morris, and Elizabeth Morris both of Leavenworth, KS, and Nichola Vandiver of Junction City, OK; father, Homer Beaver of Shawnee, KS; brother, Joseph Beaver of Oklahoma City, OK; grandchildren, Alexis Washington of Tulsa, OK, Brianna Washington of Kansas, Zariah Kiafayatullah, Leianna Gooch, Derrice Gooch, and Izayyah Gooch all of Leavenworth, KS; and great-grandson, Xavier Garcia of Tulsa, OK; and many other family members and friends.
