  4. My husband and I met working together at Market Street. Maudine got to see us start out our relationship and eventually marry. Even years after we both left market street we would frequently go visit and she was the person we loved to see most. She was the most beautiful woman I have ever known. I was shocked to find out she had passed. She is dearly missed. We love you Maudine, God has received a wonderful angel.

  5. Maudine was so sweet and so sassy. She brightened my day every day I saw her. She loved her job at Market Street, and that was very evident in the compliments she received from so many guests. My life is better for having known her. Prayers have already been prayed for the family to hold their heads high and be proud to have had Maudine as a loved one.
