Maureen Ruth Maynard

Maureen passed away peacefully in Clearwater, Florida, on March 12, 2026 at the age of 78.

She is survived by her four children: Rick Lee Maynard, Angela Lee Allison, Mark Lee

Maynard, and Mathew Lee Maynard; six grandchildren: Kristen, Colton, Max, Mason,

Morgan, and Carson and six great-grandchildren. Maureen's legacy lives on through her

family, who will cherish her memory and the love she shared with each of them.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Maurice and Ruth Myers; her brother, Maurice

Jr. "Butch"; and her sister, Patricia "Patty" and her beloved husband, Forrest Maynard.

Maureen was born on June 24, 1947, in Winooski, Vermont. She graduated from Dixie

Hollins High School in Largo, FL, and married Forrest Maynard in 1972.

Maureen and Forrest spent nearly 50 loving years together until his passing on April 8,

2021. Their partnership was defined by their dedication to family, and together they

modeled hard work, loyalty, and compassion.

In the early 1970s, Forrest and his partner started A-1 Electrical Contractors. Later,

Forrest attended auctioneering school and founded Century Oaks Auction, reflecting the

couple's shared passion for antiques. Forrest was known for his creativity, work ethic,

and unwavering loyalty. Today, his legacy endures as A-1 Electric continues under the

guidance of their son, Matt.

Maureen, always Forrest's biggest supporter, devoted much of her career as the office

manager at A-1. But her truest calling was as a compassionate caretaker. She was the

ultimate PTA mom, the neighborhood entertainer for kids, and a steadfast defender of

the underdog.

After Forrest's passing, Maureen moved to Grand Villa Assisted Living Community,

where she found new friendships and a renewed sense of purpose. She served as vice

president of the residents' council and as an ambassador welcoming new residents.

Per their wishes, Forrest's ashes will be laid to rest with Maureen, reuniting them once

more in a place of lasting peace.

A graveside service is scheduled for Monday, March 23rd at 10:30 AM at Memorial Park

Cemetery, 5750 49th Street N, St. Petersburg, FL, with a reception to follow. All are

welcome to attend.

Flowers and condolences may be sent to Memorial Park Cemetery at 5750 49th Street
