On October 19, 1964, Maison married the love of his life, Edith Sanford, after being introduced on a blind date. What began as a simple introduction blossomed into a lifetime of love and commitment. Together they shared many wonderful years, building a home, raising their children, caring for their grandchildren and creating countless cherished memories.
Maison had a deep appreciation for the outdoors and found great joy in fishing and hunting. At one time, he proudly owned and operated his own shrimp boat. He also loved cooking and preparing barbecue or gumbo for family and friends.
Above all, Maison cherished his family. Spending time with those he loved brought him his greatest happiness.
Maison loved the Lord and served through New Life Church whenever his health allowed. His faith was demonstrated through his servant's heart, kindness, humility, and compassion for others. His legacy of faith, love, and devotion to his family will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
