Maggie seems to be a shy and reserved person that pays attention to detail. When she mentioned her Aunt Dee's husband, she spoke in a low, almost inaudible tone. She also mentions he Aunts' husband by name and nickname, so she's also observant.

Answer:

Maggie knows her about her heritage a lot more than Dee. She's very aware of it.

Explanation:

Maggie is Mama’s youngest daughter. She is thin, and shy and a traditional country girl. But though quiet and not as confident as Dee, Maggie shows great understanding of her family traditions and heritage. She is able to recall the use of most objects. That’s represented in the passage: she remembers how Aunt Dee’s husband used the churn dasher.

She might be Dee's counter character in the story, they are opposites and Maggie is quiet and seems naive, but she really isn't.
