Maureen Flowers (born 6 December 1945) was for many years the number-one female darts player in the 1970s and the 1980s.[1]
Flowers grew up in Norton Green in Stoke-on-Trent, England.[2]
She won the North American Open Dart Tournament (NAODT) three years in the Ladies' Singles category: 1977, 1979, and 1981.[3]
In 1988, Flowers quit professional darts.[2] In 1996, she was entered into the National Darts Hall of Fame.[4]
