Baine Arthur Maupin was born June 7, 1951, in Pierre, SD to Thomas J. and Christine Maupin of Eagle Butte, SD. in 1952, the family moved to the ranch south of Alzada, Montana, just over the Wyoming line, where they raised Hereford bulls for many years.

Baine attended grade school near the ranch. He was a man of many talents – rancher, ranch hand, truckdriver, hauling bentonite, cattle, sheep, and horses, he even trained racehorses in Arizona.

He married Cheryl Till, and they had one daughter. They later divorced. On September 2, 1990, he married Barbara “Bobbie” Wahlfeldt, in Sturgis, SD, from that union he gained two daughters, a son, and several grandchildren.

They had many adventures together since then working on various ranches and finally settling in Buffalo, SD. Baine had a green thumb and raised a large garden. He also managed the Buffalo Waste site, until his health forced his retirement. His health resulted in many trips to the hospital and finally into hospice care, where he passed away in the early morning hours of March 28th at Rolling Hills in Belle Fouche.

Baine was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas and Christine Maupin; sister, Peggy Symonds; brothers, Thurman, J.W. (Bogie) and Jim.

He is survived by his loving wife, Bobbie; her three children, seven grandchildren, and ten great grandchildren, and many friends and relatives.

It must have been true love because they divorced, reunited, they spent nearly 30 years together, that included a remarriage in 2023.
