Maureen was born in Vancouver, BC on March 6, 1942 and spent her early childhood living in various small communities throughout the province and then settling back in Vancouver for her school years. Maureen married her husband Bill in 1961 and they started their family right away. Maureen and Bill raised their family in Burnaby and then spent a couple of years in Hamilton and then moved back to BC to reside in New Westminster. In 1994 they moved to Salmon Arm to be closer to their children and grandchildren.
