IN LOVING MEMORY OF MAUD SULLIVAN

After graduating at an early age from Littledale College, St. John's, NF, she became a teacher. Maud later worked in many other venues: She was executive secretary for the Bowater Newfoundland Pulp and Paper Company in Corner Brook. While there, Maud wrote a column for the local newspaper, giving a witty and perceptive view of happenings in the town. During World War II, Maud worked for the British Purchasing Commission in New York and Washington. One of her cherished memories was being invited to the White House to have lunch with Eleanor Roosevelt. Maud's artistic talents and portrait painting were appreciated by her many friends. She was a generous gift-giver and prolific letter writer and will continue to be the source of many wonderful memories for her nephews and nieces. Maud was a "liberated woman" many years before the words appeared in print. Thanks to the staff at Manoir for their care. And special thanks to David and Maureen who visited her so often.
