Neil Maitland

Mulberry - Neil Maitland, 64, died on Wednesday, August 29, at Mulberry Health where he resided the past seven years. He was born in Michigan City to Lawrence and Olga Maitland.

Neil grew up in Beverly Shores, IN. He had a wonderful childhood with great friends.

Neil attended Elston High School and was a proud graduate of Purdue University. Neil became an alarm technician, then started his own business, Liberty Alarm Company. He was very thorough as he provided peace of mind to his customers.

Neil was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, and friend. Neil and Barbara were married for 29 years. They have one daughter, Kathleen, whom Neil adored. She is definitely a Daddy's Girl. He lit up when his granddaughter Aryanna visited. Neil was kind, compassionate, loyal, witty, and hard working. He liked time with family and friends, nature, and music.

Neil's family would like to thank the nurses, CNAs, and staff at Mulberry Health (especially Unit 100) for the loving care they provided to Neil every day.

Barb and family,

I remember the first time I talked to Neil on the telephone concerning what the staff at Dayton Elementsry school should get you for your birthday, he was so sweet and even called me back to give me extra ideas.
Keeping you in prayer and peace.
