Maureen Crowe Obituary

MAUREEN E. CROWE January 5, 1945 - July 3, 2005 Maureen was a "Gift of Life" to all who knew her. A native of San Francisco, she attended St. Cecilia's Catholic School, Mercy High School and City College. Maureen was predeceased by her parents, Owen Barry, Mary Barry Maughan and John Maughan. She is survived by her loving husband, Bob, of 37 years and children, Robert Crowe Jr., Christianne (Marshall) Wolesky and John (Kara) Crowe. She was a warm, caring and loving grandmother of four grandchildren who called her "Totsie" as in "Hotsie Totsie", Patrick Michael, Madeline Elizabeth, Henry Michael and Andrew Marshall. She is survived by her brother, Michael (Mary) and sisters, Patricia (John) McKeown and Julie Maughan and nieces and nephew, Paula, Michelle, Michael, Molly, Kathy, Mary and Catherine. Maureen had an inner strength, courage and faith that was only surpassed by her love of family and friends. She was known for her family spaghetti dinners, festive parties and her passion for the 49ers. Her gentle spirit, sense of humor and generous heart made her a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend.

I have many fond memories of "Reenie", as I called her when we were young. One was when she visited me in St. Mary's Hospital after my knee surgery in senior year. She not only visited, but wheeled me down to the kitchen to wash my hair and then did my nails. After 2 weeks in the hospital she was truly an angel in disguise!
