http://vitals.rootsweb.com/ca/death/search.cgiThere were no Maude Lewis deaths that fit your data nor Maud Lewis....all were born elsewhere or father's or mother's maiden name weren't correct.....did a search on just the first name Maude and Maud and mother's maiden name.....maybe she remarried.....
