Words often depart when trying to call up the memories. I've known Maudie seemingly my whole life. From early days on CB Radio, to the snowmobile club and later all of the wonderful times at Park Hills, this beautiful lady was never without a smile or word of encouragement for a friend. I loved the way she was always so seemingly at ease and she always brought a smile to my face. Though I moved away a lot of years ago, she would always loudly say my name and come out for a hug. Condolences to David and Jeff. We'll see her again.

Maudie you were a treasure. You’re just gone from our sight, not from our hearts. You will be missed. God bless you!

I knew Maudie 21 years or so and worked with her at the course for 13 seasons. She was at her best when she cranked up the radio on Sunday mornings with polka music. I'll miss her.

Maudie would always seem to follow me around to the area events.
We sat at the Fair and watched the band play and have kettle korn.

I have memories back to early childhood of family visits with the Hartmans. Maudie was such a jokester with the most delightful giggler. Small but mighty, she could work circles around people, maintaining her positive spirit throughout. She was always happy to see me throughout the years, usually at community events we were supporting. Boy, could she and Don dance! She leaves the world a better place thanks to her smiles and caring nature.

So sorry to hear of Maudie's passing. She was such a sweet lady and always stopped to talk to me when we met up. My mom and dad and her and her husband use to hang around together. Knew her for a long time. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family.
