Maggie Ausmus, age 86, of Middlesboro, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 27, 2023, at Middlesboro ARH, surrounded by her family.  She was born in Bryson, TN, in Claiborne County, on October 16, 1936, to the late Hiram Jarvey “Big Boy” Miracle and Janie Gibson Miracle. 

Despite her Tennessee roots, Maggie was an avid University of Kentucky fan, who made sure everyone knew it when they passed by her house, trimmed in UK blue.  She is remembered as being a hard-working woman with a heart of gold.

She is survived by her children, Martha Raines, Kay (Jeff) Hatfield, and Teresa Ausmus; grandchildren, Rebecca Capron, Wayne Allen Raines, Joshua (Alyssa) Ausmus, Susie Frazier, Rebecca Simpson, Jeffrey (Shannon) Hatfield, Benjamin (Brooke) Hatfield, Megan Hatfield, and Tosha Underwood Bray; and great-grandchild, Sebastian Cadle, who she raised, as well as a host of other great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and special friends, Casey Hatfield, Pearl Minor, and Willa Mae Smith. 

The family of Maggie Ausmus will receive friends on Friday, September 1, 2023, from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at the Cawood Funeral Home Chapel.  Funeral services will immediately follow at 1:00 p.m. with Rev.
