Maureen will always be remembered as a very kind and caring person. She was always the first one to greet you with a smile or ask if you needed anything, and after that they became lifelong friends. She was always there for her friends or anyone who needed help.

I’m one of Maureen’s many nieces and nephews.
She left memories of love and joy. Our many trips to the Lake Ontario cottage were a blast.
A favorite memory was being woken in the dark to set lit candles afloat on Lake Ontario.
Much love to Ed and Mary Helen.
Aunt Maureen will never be forgotten.
Wonderful Aunt Maureen generous with love and cookies also a keeper of family history and stories of growing up on Bridge St.
She had no hesitation to give advice to us kids , I heard ‘live it up have fun’ . Always great to visit and she was great in days of snail mail to stay in touch with John and Murt. Like everyone I’m sure We love Maureen .
Eddie and Mary Helen share her spirit so she’s still with us . Tim and Fran
