SOULIA, Margaret (Allen)
Margaret "Maggie" (Allen) Soulia, 78, of Colchester, widow of the late Charles R.

She also served as caterer for both the Colchester Police and State Police Troop K for 14 years. In her spare time, she loved creating silk floral arrangements as well as gardening, especially cross-breeding irises.
