It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Dr. Claudia Magill, a cherished teacher, dedicated volunteer, and beloved friend. Claudia's life was a testament to the power of knowledge, compassion, and service. For over five decades, she devoted herself to uplifting others and spreading peace through the teachings of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
As a highly trained instructor of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) Technique, Claudia touched the lives of hundreds of students, guiding them on their personal journeys of growth and transformation. Her exceptional intelligence, boundless enthusiasm, and unwavering commitment to helping others made her a beacon of light in the TM community.
Claudia's work extended beyond teaching. She played a pivotal role in the management of several TM centers, ensuring that students had access to the advanced practices that deepened their experiences and understanding of Maharishi's teachings. She was also a key leader in the TM Ladies' Organization, where she worked tirelessly to promote educational initiatives and support the mission of the TM movement.
Her voluntary spirit and deep compassion for others made her a beloved mentor and collaborator. Claudia's ability to inspire and uplift everyone around her was extraordinary, and she leaves behind a lasting legacy of service, kindness, and dedication to creating a better world.
Claudia's presence will be deeply missed, but her impact will live on in the countless lives she touched. We are forever grateful for her wisdom, her kindness, and her unwavering commitment to peace.
Dr. Claudia Magill is survived by her loving husband, David, her sister Judy Zischke (East Lansing, MI), friends, students, and all who were fortunate to be touched by her extraordinary life.
