If you met Maude, you did not forget her. She was energetic, spontaneous, loyal, loving, forgiving, determined, opinionated, playful, and generous. She loved her high school softball days, trips to the beach, playing cards, puzzles, family genealogy, the Atlanta Braves, home cooking, mowing her grass, pie, gardening and collecting Pyrex. She dedicated her time to civic work, including the Salem Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary, the VFW Post 2524 Auxiliary and Wreaths Across America. Throughout her life, Maude's greatest joy was her family. She valued her marriage and remained Click’s loyal wife, ensuring he was remembered for the 30 years following his death. She instilled in her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren strong family values and the importance of togetherness and fierce loyalty.
