Maude Emma Grace Mailman – 34, Calgary, formerly of Bible Hill and Truro. It is with heavy hearts that we acknowledge the tragic passing of our beloved Maude Emma on Monday, January 15, 2024.
Maude happily grew up and attended school in Bible Hill and Truro. She was involved in many sports and showed such promise at all that she turned her hand to. Maude easily made many friends throughout her life and cherished them all. She and her sister, Ceilidh, were always together, and wherever they went "those tall Mailman girls" turned heads. Her lifelong friend, Alana Weatherbee, was her most trusted and beloved friend; they just "got" each other, and it was beautiful to watch. Maude was surrounded by her lively loving family, (the Langille/Richard/Matthews family of Londonderry and the Moore/Mailman family of Admiral Rock.) She knew she was loved and was so proud of them all; she gladly received love and freely gave it.
Right from the start, Maude knew who she was and where she was going. With an independent "I can do it!" spirit and unwavering confidence, Maude struck out for Calgary, where she met her love, Rob. The girl was strong and capable and knew how to work. Most notably she was strong-willed and softhearted. This, paired with her immense compassion for the underdog, made her a shining light in a dark world. Her beautiful smile and contagious laugh are what we need more of. Well done, Maude!
She prepares the way for her parents, Larry and Kenley; beloved sister, Ceilidh; nephew, Sandy; grandparents, Edward Langille and Carlotta; many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Maude was predeceased by her partner, Rob; infant brother, Sandy; cherished grandmothers, Sandra Langille, Mary Mailman; great grandmother, Eva Langille; many more loved ones, so dear to our hearts.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall – Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro, where Maude’s family will receive friends from 6-8 p.m., Friday, January 19, 2024. Graveside service will be announced at a later date.
