Her passion was care taking, which included cooking for everybody. She loved to travel, fish and play cards. Her family was the most important part of her life, which extended well beyond her husband and children. She would drop everything to meet the needs of others. Her story telling was a great treat to all. She has left a great void in this world and will be missed for many years to come. The stories she leaves behind will be a great legacy for her great grandchildren and beyond. Maudie was preceded in death by her husband and love of her life, of 66 years, Walter B.
