He grew up in the family home on Slide Rock Road and graduated from Morley Consolidated School with the class of 1958.

He received salesman of the year awards, and he considered many of his patrons as good friends. His last few years of employment were at Anamosa Wal-Mart.Community was most important to Maynard. He was an active member of Morley First United Methodist Church; Morley alumni, including past president; offices in Morley Community Club and was fire chief when funds were raised for Morley’s new fire station.Maynard also served as Morley town marshal for almost thirty years until the State of Iowa no longer recognized that position.

Each family he worked with received the same compassion.Family left to share memories are his wife, Coleen; three children; Julie (Mike) O’Connor, their daughter Tashsa (her children Carter and Isabella) and son Wyatt; Scott, his son Colby (Tabitha), (his children Chance and Dazzalynn) and daughter Brooke and step-daughter Cindy (son Jackson); Deanna (Carey) Glick, their children Andrea Beddingfield, (her children Tristan, Maverick and Cael), Rachel and Zander.Maynard is also survived by his brother, Richard (Reva) VanAntwerp; stepsister, Beveraly (Richard) Strand; and sister-in-law Sue (Don) VonBehren.Preceding Maynard in death were his mother, Cecile; and stepfather Clarence Ricklefs; his father, Mark; brother, Arlo; and stepbrother, Marvin Ricklefs. Also preceding Maynard in death were his father and mother-in-law, Cecil and Myrtle Hay; and brother-in-law, Bruce Hay.We’ll miss you, but we’ll follow your foot print.
