Mrs. Maze was born Jan. 14, 1977, in Hannibal, to Sheree and Berthal “Bucky” Thomas. She graduated from Jewel High School and briefly attended Fort Hays State University. She worked as a secretary at DSWA CPA, where she forged wonderful friendships with her coworkers and clients.

She met Gabriel "Gabe" Maze in January of 2000 and after many years as loving partners, they were united in marriage at Greer's Ferry Lake in Arkansas on June 20, 2020.

She was a wonderful mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend and grandma. She found joy in her family, friends, Mother Nature, long hikes and wide rivers. She saw so much beauty in everything around her. She carried on the legacy of her grandmother's Iris bed. She loved reading, drawing, gardening and photography. She would always be found with a book, sketchbook or her camera with her. She used Free Spirit as an alias and she truly has become just that. She will be loved and treasured Allways (love in all ways).
