Maureen grew up along the Hi-Line of Montana and attended school in Hingham. After High School graduation she met and married Emil Paul Styke. To this union Joan, Paul, Gary and John were born. They later divorced. Maureen met and married Lloyd Marion Wood, Jr. in 1977. They lived in many locations in Montana, Wyoming and Arizona. Maureen always wanted to go back to Arizona where it was warm – she did NOT care for the snow and cold! She was a beautician for a few years but spent most of her life doing secretarial work. Maureen loved dogs and cats, country music, crafting, cooking, her family, friends and Veterans. She was involved in the Southwest Montana Pink Heals firetruck Sharon Grace and could be seen riding or walking handing out candy in the parades. She was involved in several senior citizen groups and was the President of VFW Auxiliary District 4 and Bill Carroll VFW Post 9040 Auxiliary at the time of her passing.

She is also survived by grandchildren and great grand-children that she was very proud of.
