Maggie was born in the home she currently resided in on July 18, 1932, daughter of the late Eathen and Emilia (Jennick) Brewster. As a young girl, she attended Holy Cross School in Kaukauna and at Kaukauna High School developed a love for art. She attended University of Wisconsin-Fox Valley and University of Wisconsin-Madison where she continued her study of art, but was called home before graduation due her father's illness. Margaret began work as a graphic artist at the Locks Mill, but always kept up her painting. She retired from the mill in 1990. Maggie became a renowned artist throughout Wisconsin, and was best known for her watercolors, oils, and portraits. She exhibited and sold her work all over North America, including the Milwaukee Museum of Art, Minnesota Capitol Rotunda, Hardy Gallery in Ephraim, Neville Museum, Weidner Center, and Lambeau Field Atrium in Green Bay, and in Pike's Peak, Colorado. She is listed in the Who's Who in American Art, and was instrumental in beginning Kaukauna's Creative Art Group.

Margaret was a member of the Friends of Thousand Islands, Kaukauna Historical Society, Kaukauna Creative Arts Group, Bay Area Watercolor Guild, Wisconsin Painters and Sculptors, National Museum of Women in the Arts, and 1000 Friends of Wisconsin. She leaves behind two sisters: Florence Brewster of Kaukauna and Geri Molda of Appleton; two brothers: Francis Brewster of Colorado Springs and James (Dolores) Brewster of Piedmont, California.
