Eugene R. “Gene” Maurice, 88, of Burlington died May 6, 2013 at the Kindred Nursing Home, Milwaukee. He was born Aug. 12, 1924, to the late George and Alta (nee Hartnell) Maurice in Brighton Township where he spent his early life.

He was a member of St. Charles Catholic Church and Catholic Order of Foresters. One of the biggest enjoyments of his life was making quilts for family and friends and to donate to church and Love, Inc.
