Maureen Duryee

To those who loved Maureen: I grew up on Lord Hill, across the street from Maureen, her husband and son Gavin. We would say hello at the end of the driveway, as she was checking the mailbox. She was bright, friendly and curious about those around her, which was especially welcoming to me as a shy child. As an adult, when I would bump into her in town, she would always catch me up on the neighborhood news. She was so proud of her son Gavin and would tell me where he was in the world and about...

My condolences to Maureen's loving family. I feel honored to have known Maureen and I treasure the memories of her sweet pea bouquet deliveries each summer. Her smile and her kindness was contagious!

David, Gavin and Family, We were shocked to read this in the Herald. I always expect to see Maureen at the end of our neighboring driveways or running into her at the grocery store. So sorry for this sudden loss. Sally and Paul next door

I read obituaries as I am curious about who they are, and learn a little something about this person who just passed. I even cut them out and save ones that peak my interest somehow. I read Maureen's obituary and I wanted the tell you how much reading about her impressed me. What an amazing and interesting person she was. To whomever wrote this knew her well and you caught her essence and joy in life. I will be saving this one. To her family and friends, my deep condolences for your loss of...

Maureen, you have been such a dear, sweet, funny, kind, smart as all get out friend since childhood! I love you so much and am already missing you terribly. I've been back over all your texts and have kept ALL your and David's cards and am still savoring my trip memories back to Everett to attend your mom's funeral summers ago. You and Mary were AMAZING, taking me on tours so I could re-visit Everett, having dinner with me every night, talking the night away. For me, it was like traveling...

I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of Maureen. I have beloved memories of sleepovers with Mugsy in their shared bedroom and dinners at the beautiful dining table of the Duryee's home. Please know that the Duryee family blessed so many in countless ways over the years. My deepest sympathy to the family for yet another loss. Nancy Reynolds Sunderland

So sorry for your loss, Gavin, Katie and Ember. What a remarkable woman and may her memory be a blessing.

I had the privilege of meeting Maureen while I was attending to her Mom Marys hair. She was always a breath of sunshine and even though I called Mary my Mary sunshine I saw all those wonderful attributes in Maureen as well. Maureenhad a very kind and loving heart and I cherished my time with her at 1111 Rucker cutting her lovely locks and listening to all her life adventures through her awesome life. I and all who were privileged to be touched by her will miss her dearly. My thoughts and...

I knew Maureen via the Magus Book Store, first when I was a customer, and later as a coworker. Her knowledge of books was astonishing and yet never intimidating. Her genuine interest in other people was a wonder. She remembered the names of friends and loved ones I mentioned in conversation but who she never met herself. She was the unofficial historian and archivist of the Magus, and had photos of people and events connected to it going back decades. During the long period of her mother's...
