On January 28, 1957, she married Al Dobson. Maudie passed just one day before they would have celebrated 52 years of marriage. During their marriage they settled in various communities including Regina, Yorkton, St. Albert, Vernon and most recently Medicine Hat where they have made their home since 2000. For many years she worked as a cashier at a bowling alley which was convenient due to the fact she enjoyed to bowl. In her younger years she could be found at her favorite camping spot. She was the designated driver when it came to driving the boat while fishing and made sure to find where the fish were. Maudie liked the company of friends and family alike and had lots of fun in their company.
