She was always helping someone, always doing something for someone: sewing, repairing clothing, darning, and a specialist at laundering shirts. Once someone was visiting relatives in Saxis, but they were staying with Maude instead of with their relatives. Evelyn asked her mother, Mae, why they were staying with Maude and Mae replied, "because it was 'Sprawlings Hotel' and everyone who needed a place to stay was welcome." She was very religious. She was in a circle group wearing a pearl or colored bead necklace at a "Camp Meeting" and another member stuck his finger through the necklace and told her if she wanted to get to heaven she had to get rid of that.
