They made their home in Grand Junction, CO where in 1936 a girl was born in March, they named her Thelma Grace, then in May 1937 a boy, Leslie Everett was born.
Albert worked for W.P.A until moving to Sandpoint, Idaho in 1941, to help build the Farragut Naval Training Center. They then moved back to Colorado in 1942, where Albert worked as a Deputy Sheriff and farmed while Maude cared for the goats, chickens, and rabbits. In March 1943 another girl, Barbara Lee was born. Then in 1946 the family moved to a farm 10 miles from anywhere, close to Havana, Arkansas, but later returned to Colorado in 1947. In 1949 they moved to Nampa, Idaho where they lived together until Albert died in 1985. Maude was a long time member of the Nazarene Church, who loved to read, sew, and crochet.
** Maude is survived by her son, Leslie; daughter, Barbara; eight grandchildren; seventeen great grandchildren; and dozens of nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her Husband, Albert; brothers, Floyd, Fred and John; sister, Leona; daughter, Thelma; and a baby boy.
** She will rest with the Lord, and be missed by us all.
