Maureen Claire Gaschnitz (Moe) aged 78 of Edson, Alberta, peacefully passed away on September 4th, 2024. Born to her mother Cavelle Olive Nelson and sister to Lorna Brown.

Maureen was an adventurous spirit who travelled to multiple places in her many fields of work, from Prince George, Calgary, Vancouver and even lived and worked in Reno, Nevada.
