Margaret Elizabeth “Maggie” Kina, 70, of Owings, Maryland, passed away peacefully on April 27, 2026, at her home surrounded by her loving family.

Born on March 23, 1956, in Arlington, Virginia, Maggie was the daughter of the late Frederick James Oram and Françoise Marguerite Oram (Terroux).

Maggie worked as an elevator mechanic in Washington, D.C., a job that reflected her determination, independence, and strength.

She found great joy in life’s simple pleasures. She loved gardening, knitting, reading, cooking for those she loved, and cultivating her beautiful gardens, including a cherished butterfly garden that brought her endless happiness. She especially treasured the time she spent with her beloved dogs—Charles, Jackson, Dixie, and Layla. She was known for her quick wit, unwavering opinions and generous spirit, often supporting local food pantries and looking for ways to help others in her community. She also had a great passion for antiques and could often be found browsing estate sales and yard sales in search of unique treasures.

Above all, Maggie will be remembered for the kindness and love she shared so freely with her family, friends, and animals. Her presence brought warmth and comfort to those around her, and her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Karl Alan Kina, of Owings, Maryland; her daughter, Carolyn Lee Kina, of Dunkirk, Maryland; her daughter, Jessica Noel Gillings and her husband, Christopher, of Port Republic, Maryland; her son, Nicholas Christopher Kina and his wife, Kimberly, of Huntingtown, Maryland; and her grandchildren, Isabella Swanson, Logan Gillings, Aaron Gillings, and Gavin Gillings, all of Port Republic, Maryland, and Kade Kina, of Huntingtown, Maryland.

She will be deeply missed.

Funeral services will be private.
