Maurice Lee Traweek
Graveside Service – March 25, 2008
Maurice Lee Traweek passed away on July 21, 2007, at a Bedford, Texas care center. He was born in Kingsville, Texas on April 1, 1927, and was proud to be a Native Texan. After graduating from high school in Beeville, Texas, he served in the United States Army during the final days of World War II, and was deployed to the island of Guam for 18 months after the war ended.
After the Army, Maurice worked for the Union Producing Company in the Aqua Dulce oil and gas fields before entering into several business ventures including real estate offices in Beeville and Houston. His knowledge of commercial real estate led him to a career in the food industry, where he specialized in establishing leases and constructing new stores and restaurants. He later moved into restaurant operations and managed the maintenance group of a major restaurant company in Dallas.
Maurice and his wife, the former Ruth Marie Mutchler of Sinton, retired in 1989 and moved to Kingsland, Texas on Lake LBJ, where they lived until 2000. In Kingsland, Maurice was active in the Lion’s Club and served on the board of directors for the Kingsland Municipal Utility District. In 2000, the couple moved back to South Texas and settled in Corpus Christi, to be close to their extended families. In 2006 they returned to the Dallas/Fort Worth area to be near their son.
Maurice is survived by Ruth, his wife of 57 years, and their son Lee. He was preceded in death by his younger sister Betty Joyce Vorpahl of Duncan, Oklahoma.
Graveside services will be held at the Glenwood Cemetery in Beeville at 1:00 PM on Tuesday, March 25, 2008.
