Maudie worked in the Bank of Montreal in Vegerville and met her husband, Frank Tillapaugh at the hotel where they both boarded. They were married in Regina when Maudie was about thirty years old, then they travelled around British Columbia for awhile as Frank was working in the Caribou area. He worked for a company that drilled for water and was moved around constantly. He was next sent to Ontario where Maudie lived the rest of her life with Frank, except when his job sometimes took him to another country. Maudie and Frank became the parents of two children, Cheryl and Murray and the grandparents to Shawn, Jean Paul, Jason and Jennifer. In 1967, Frank died from a brain tumor.
Maudie died August 1993 at the
age 
of eighty-three. They are buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens, London, Ontario, Canada.
