Maureen O'Malley

I was very sad to read of Maureen's passing. Her Mother and Father (Rosemary and Bob) were dear friends of my parents (Mary and Jack) and they were my beloved godparents. While, we had not seen one another in decades, Maureen graciously extended the O'Malley hospitality to me when I did a bike ride in Alaska in 2000.

On behalf of the Pacific Region of the Society of Air Force Nurses (SAFN), I would like to express our sincere condolences at the loss of your loved one.

Her obituary will be posted in the next monthly Memorial Committee Report which is sent electronically to all SAFN members.

My deepest sympathy.

Mike, Barbara, and Theresa:

We are heartbroken to learn of Maureen's death.

Maureen exuded warmth and genuineness and she had a wonderful sense of humor. The world is a better place because of her presence.

Our deepest condolences to each of you and the extended Nave and O’Malley families.
