She grew up with her parents Lionel and Kathleen and her brother David Staniland in South London. As a teen, she became a professional figure skater in the ice shows. This is where she met her husband William (Bill) Winemaster, a Canadian, over in England playing professional hockey for a London based team. Years later, they married and they headed to North America. Maureen and Bill started in Toronto, Canada in 1960, before moving to the US, in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan in 1961. She took great pride in supporting her husband’s career and encouraging his business opportunities, all while lovingly caring for her family and providing a wonderful home for them to grow up in. She and her husband moved to Chicago after his retirement, to start a business with their sons, in 1985.
