Maureen F McDonald

Maureen Flanagan McDonald, age 86, of Michigan City, IN passed away on Friday, November 9, 2018 at her home in Michigan City, IN. 

Maureen was born on August 28, 1932 in Michigan City, IN to James and Irene (Berg) Flanagan, who preceded her in death.   On September 15, 1951, she married John McDonald in Chicago, IL.  He also preceded her in death.

Maureen’s favorite time of year was Christmas creating cherished moments with friends and family, which she held most dear. Her free time was spent on the golf course, cheering for the Irish and knitting personal gifts.  More than anything, she loved her family. She was a proud mother, grandmother, great grandmother and a wonderful friend.  Maureen personified class, grace, elegance, humor but it is her smile that we all will remember most.
