Maurice Williams Danielson, age 89 of Buffalo, passed away peacefully at Cokato Manor in Cokato, MN on December 1, 2020. He was born on July 7, 1931, the son of Joseph and Esther (Broberg) Danielson of Dassel, MN.
Maurice was baptized and confirmed at Gethsemane Lutheran Church in Dassel, MN. He received his elementary education in Steelsville School District 22.
After working for several years doing road maintenance, snowplowing, new home construction, and remodeling, Maurice retired. In his retirement, he still wanted to stay active, so he began volunteering at Pioneer Park in Annandale, MN, where he mowed lawns and worked on various upkeep projects. He also took care of mowing lawn at Marysville Church in Marysville Township and for Zion Lutheran Church in Buffalo, MN; which he and Georgia were members of for many years.
Maurice really enjoyed being outdoors. He also enjoyed tinkering in his garage and always had several different projects he was working on. He stayed very active until Dementia took over and he moved to Cokato Manor to reside.
Maurice is preceded in death by his father; mother; brothers, Donald, Lowell, Merlyn; and sister, Ruth.
Maurice is survived by his wife of 40 years, Georgia Danielson of Monticello; and his 2 children from his first marriage, Jodi (Pete) Jaunich of Delano, MN and Todd (Amy) Danielson of Cartersville, GA. He is also survived by his 3 stepchildren, Don (Denise) Fisher of Big Lake, MN, Julie Busse of San Antonio, TX, and Christine (Chuck) Chastek of South Haven, MN; as well as many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, family and friends. He is also survived by his sisters, Frances Olson of Hutchinson, MN and Janice (Tom) Crowe of Dassel, MN.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, May 15, 2021 at 11:00 AM, with visitation one hour prior, at Zion Lutheran Church in Buffalo, MN. Burial will follow at Zion Cemetery in Buffalo, MN.

So sorry for you loss. May you have many great memories!
Dear Georgia, and family,
My deepest sympathy to you all.
Maurice was always doing various jobs at Pioneer Park. Mowing, shoveling, painting, giving advise! He was a fun guy. I think he enjoyed our monthly potluck dinners, too.
I remember the last time we went out to celebrate your wedding anniversary at Red Lobster, with Georgia, Maurice’s sister and husband. We had such a good time. Lots of laughs. Cheri Antl & Don Gadow from Pioneer Park
