“Maudie”
Spanning nine decades and four continents, Maudie’s life began in Japan. After she graduated from Yokohama’s International School in 1934, her father moved the family to Shanghai, China. There she met and married her first husband and had her first child, Dorothy. In 1940, they lived in Australia for six months and returned to China just before WWII began in the Pacific. Because of their British citizenship, Maudie and her family were interned in Lunghua Camp by Japanese occupation forces in 1942. After they were liberated, Maudie’s husband returned to England. Maudie and her daughter accompanied her sister, Amy, newly married to Richard Eiden to the US in 1947. Mother and daughter lived in Vancouver, B.C. from 1948 to 1949 then in London, England for 2 ½ years. Maudie’s first husband died in Australia in 1950. She married Richard Eiden’s brother Jim in October 1951. They returned to Washington State where they raised two sons, Mike and Tom, in Lynnwood. Jim died in 1981.
