They gave her rides, prepared home cooked meals for her, cleared her snow, cut her grass and made it possible for her to stay in her home as long as she did. She was always grateful for their support. Maisie was born on May 24, 1924 in Nesbitt, Manitoba. She spent her early years in Pipestone, Manitoba and attended Brandon College. She was employed with the Royal Bank in Roblin for three years and then 30 years with the Provincial Government Departments of Social Welfare and Health.

Maisie was a long time member of the Catholic Women's League, Christ the King Church, and an Associate of the Ursuline Sisters. Her kindness and generosity were examples of her strong faith. The family would like to thank the staff of St. Boniface Hospital Emergency Department and A6 Family Medicine for your compassion, caring manner and very human touch. Over the last two weeks Maisie said many times "They are so good to me". A special thanks to Kirk, Darlene, Heidi and Anita, you were so kind and thoughtful.

I am reading Maisie's obit 12 yrs too late. I think of her from time to time. She was our Manager. She was always patient and fair. Maisie was the kind of person that always made you want to make her proud of you. She was an inspiration. - Posted by: Patricia Kupchak (Co-worker at Dept of Health) on: Jul 11, 2025

I returned to active ministry about 7 years ago at Christ the King parish. Maisie figured prominently among the pillars of holiness in that place. Since then, many of those special people have gone home to the Father. Maisie is the last in my mind. God bless her for her witness of discipleship which was so obvious. And, God bless her that, as she become more deaf, her "Amens" didn't become subdued but became all the more confident. We always knew she was there at mass. God's speed Maisie. Rest in peace. Much love. - Posted by: Fr. Phil Daley (Friend ) on: Jan 31, 2013

Maisie and my Mother, Margaret Murphy, had a close friendship for more than 50 years. Whether they were worshiping at Christ The King Church or sharing girlfriend chatter while they sipped wine at a dinner party, their hours together were the stuff of which lifetime memories are made. Maisie will be deeply missed. - Posted by: Barbara Murphy, Victoria BC (friend) on: Jan 31, 2013

Masie was a lifelong dear friend of my mother, Margaret, who will miss her very much. I had dinner with Masie in September and she was delightful. I will always be grateful for the friendship she shared with my mother and our family. I know she rests in peace. - Posted by: Diane (Murphy) Roussin (Friend) on: Jan 30, 2013
