Maude was blessed by God with many talents and was a natural-born leader with the ability to confidently take charge with proficiency in many organizations and events. She had a winning personality that radiated love to all people through her many acts of service. Her life revolved around family, church, music, and school.
Maude was a woman of faith whose actions exemplified the love of God and the saving grace of His Son, Jesus Christ. Upon entering Fredonia State Teachers College, Maude became active with a church and the Student Christian Movement on campus eventually becoming their president and the state secretary. After her marriage to George, the love of her life, they settled in Ulysses in 1953 within sight of the Methodist Church. Church attendance and involvement were essential parts of their growing family.
Because Maude loved children, she decided to get a degree in elementary education. After having nine children, she decided to start her teaching career in the fall of 1960.
