Maureen was one of the sweetest people I´ve ever known. Always so interesting and knowledgeable on any subject in a conversation. I will miss her wit and humor. She was part of my history. Maureen, Joanne and I enjoyed recalling High School memories and adventures from our younger years when we got together for our birthdays. She was always so understanding and kind. A beautiful person inside and out
