Maurie Alan Jury

Maurie Alan Jury, age 84, passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 19, 2023.

Maurie will be remembered as a great conversationalist, a clever storyteller, and a gentle man who enjoyed doing things for others. He was generous, thoughtful, and kind. He was known and appreciated for his fun sense of humor.

Maurie was a lifelong resident of Appleton and a 1957 graduate of Appleton High School. He loved attending Terrors games and for many years was active on the class reunion committee. As a teen, Maurie enjoyed working as a lifeguard at Erb pool, also known as the “bird bath.”

After high school, he served with the 101st Airborne as a Paratrooper and an Army Medic at Fort Campbell, KY. He later worked at John Strange, where he became union president before moving into a supervisor role. He then started his own business; Expert Wallcovering, where his precision, patience, and focus on perfection was an art form. He was a Freemason, a member of the First English Lutheran Church, and a friend of Bill W. For years he enjoyed Bellaire Court neighborhood gatherings as well as lively Jury Family Reunions that often included at least three generations.
