She was the wife of Henry Evans Maude, who sparked her interest in string figures through lending her a copy of Kathleen Haddon's Cat's Cradles from Many Lands on their way to Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony, where, on Ocean Island and later Beru, Maude saw string figures for the first time. Maude was a charter member of the International String Figure Association in 1978.
