She married Michael Marshall November 24, 1943. They had three sons and a daughter, eleven grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren. They lived in Delia as newlyweds and later moved to the farm where they stayed for over fifty years. They moved back to Delia in a new home on their original lot. In 2006 they moved to the Sunshine Lodge in Drum where Dad passed in November 2007. Mom enjoyed her new home and many friends there. Mike and Maude are as recognized a duo as Ralph and Alice Kramden, Fred and Wilma Flinstone or George and Weezie Jefferson and nearly as comical. They were social butterflies and enjoyed visiting and entertaining. In 1984 they were honored to receive Holy Communion from Pope John Paul II in Edmonton. They were very involved in the community and always willing to help out. Their home at the farm was a gathering point for family and friends. When they moved to town the tradition continued and seldom had a day pass that they did not have company. Mom with help from Aunt Mary ran the Coffee Shop while Luke went to China and developed a special friendship with Mai and Luke and their Family. Mom was the news correspondent to the local papers for years but was most in her element as the organizer for the many trips they enjoyed, I bet she’s looking for Lawrence Ludwig right now up yonder trying to get something lined up. We called Mom our Favorite Bad Example as she ate what she wanted when she wanted it, refused to take an extra step lest it could be viewed as exercise and still remained quite healthy. Funeral was held at 11:00 AM St Anthony’s Catholic Church in Drumheller on Friday, January 16 and Prayers were held the evening before at 7:00 P.M. The Family of Maude Marshall wishes to thank Father Ian Gagne for saying prayers and Mass for Mom. Also to Sean Grande from Courtney-Winters Funeral Home, the staff at Sunshine Lodge for their excellent care while Mom made her HOME there and all of her friends at Sunshine Lodge and to all family and friends who visited her. Thanks also to Karin Miller for the excellent lunch and to everyone who was able to attend the Prayers, Funeral and Lunch. We want to thank the parishioners from St. Anthony’s who have services and take Communion to the Lodge. Many thanks for the flowers and Mass Cards and food. Courtney-Winters Funeral Home entrusted with arrangements.
