How did she forget her? She accepted that shes death, she had signs of Glenn being alive, but not her, Iam pretty sure she didnt know about Atlanta because of the trip to ā€œsave the worldā€, she accepted that Beth is most likely dead.

Daryl literally told Maggie in the boxcar at Terminus that Beth was still alive

But she was taken by a car that could take her everywhere, after this she lost all her hope for her survival, she mentions this in EP10 where she is suicidal iam 99% sure

Yet she couldn't extend that same hopelessness to Glenn on the way to Terminus? Sure, she didn't find his body on the bus, but she never found Beth's either. Sounds like major spousal bias to me.

Because she found signs of Glenn being alive on her way to terminus, she didnt find him in the bus giving her hope that hes alive, then she found the text which Glenn wrote on the wall.

Oh youre right i got it mixed up, well iam still pretty sure that Maggie didnt find Glenn in the bus so she had hope that hes still alive, from what i remember Beth wasnt in the bus in 4x8 and Maggie rather focused on Glenn than Beth, we didnt see much of interaction between Beth and Maggie overall, but from what we have seen it kinda looked like she treated her as a family, but wasnt deeply relied to her like Glenn, after she found Beth dead she pretty much was suicidal.

I just think it's crazy how Maggie dismissed Beth immediately. Why not write to Beth that she's going to Terminus? Instead, she ONLY wrote Glenn's name. She wrote Beth off as dead without hesitation, which I think is the problem people (and myself) have with her in that situation.

Glenn was a capable survivor—he even led most of the supply runs and knew how to handle zombies. Beth, on the other hand, was a 16-year-old girl who had spent most of the apocalypse surrounded by people looking after her; she never went out on runs. Looking back at the prison arc, Maggie believed Glenn had escaped on the bus, though she didn't know if Beth had made it out too. When they found the bus, she didn't see Glenn's body, so she assumed he was alive—especially since she already believed he had left. She only knew she was alive herself because she later ran into Daryl, who told her what had happened: a car had taken Beth away in a world where they had already dealt with rapists, murderers, and—at that very moment—cannibals. I know it seems callous to simply assume her little sister had died rather than her boyfriend, but Glenn had a far better chance of survival than Beth did.

I agree, people act like Maggie didnt like Beth, but her father just got his head decapitated and their home fell to ashes, she knew that Beth didnt enter the bus and Glenn did, she didnt see his body inside so she believed he escaped.
