She worked as a housewife until Charlie retired and they moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in 1964. In Las Vegas, she worked for Sears Roebuck until 1980, when she quit to take care of her husband. She then worked for the Review Journal Newspaper until 2004, working until one day past her 88th birthday. She then moved to Laurie, Missouri to be near her son and daughter-in-law. Maureta is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, John and Sandy Carder of Lake of the Ozarks; three grandsons, Reb Grybowski, Brad Grybowski, and Brett Grybowski and wife, Lisa; six great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild; two sisters-in-law, Mary Salisbury and Bonnie Salisbury, and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was loved by all her relatives. When anyone needed a place to stay, she and Charlie always opened their home to them. Maureta never knew a stranger and would start a conversation wherever she went. She will be dearly missed.
