Annei am so sad to read this news of Maureen’s passing. Through all that she had to endure, she was still the same Maude, who gave me my position at LRH, where she was known to so many and was always a pleasure to work with. Life was never dull when Maude was there.

What an amazing, wonderful and funny lady she was. Through all that she went through. in her life, she still always had a smile on her face and something witty and funny to say.
To her beautiful family, and friends, I send you all lots of love and deepest sympathy, your mum was a very special lady, and she will be sadly missed by all who knew her.Oh Ms Maudie, working at LRH with you as the boss lady is definitely one of the most memorable chapters of my working life. Thank you Maude for all the fun, laughter and singing (in particular ‘yellow submarine’). I’ll remember you always with that cheeky smile and that mischievous little glint in your eye.
Rest peacefully Maude.
Condolences to Jacque, Julie-Anne, Brad and families xxxChelle x
