It was such a pleasure to share grandchildren (Mikki and Cameron) with Maureen. She was a great collaborative partner and an inspiration for better grand parenting. I always appreciated her efforts.
Prayers for the family of my cousin Maureen…fond memories of her growing up! Love to all!
Maureen was an amazing woman and role model. Her laugh was contagious and truly captured hearts. We always bonded over quilting, drinks and laughter. I have many fantastic memories of our weekend trip to the Elms a few years back that I will cherish the rest of life. I was blessed to know her and call her my friend.
Prayers for the family .
Maureen was my best friend for 57 years. We shared so many life experiences together growing up and even though distances separated us we always picked up where we left off whether it was last week or last week. She was a strong and incredible friend who can’t be replaced. I will miss her dearly. My sympathy to all her family who she loved so much.
I was Maureen’s cousin and although we had distance between us as we were a military family I still have many memories of Maureen. She was my mother Dorothy Mae’s favorite niece. I am so pleased she had such love all around her. My prayers are with you all.
