In 1939/40, Maud was accepted to attend the University of Manitoba where she received her diploma in the Homemakers’ Course.

After Howard’s death, she went to work for Canadian Pacific Railway in Brandon, having to work 4 to midnight shifts and raising her daughter, Sherri. Maud retired from Canadian Pacific in 1985 after 14 years. Her retirement was busy looking after her handicapped brothers and her Mother. She also had time to do crafts and took up quilting. Everyone in the family received a quilt. She also found time to enter many craft shows. In approximately 1997 Maud moved to Moose Jaw to be closer to family but continued her love of crafts and quilting.
