Maureen McTigue Obituary
She attended St Barnabas High School and Katherine Gibbs School. Maureen earned Bachelor and Masters degrees with honors in Psychology and Education from the College of New Rochelle. She held Certification for Special Education K through 12 grades.
On June 24, 1961 she married Robert McTigue in St Francis of Rome Church in the Bronx. She worked as a legal secretary until her first child was born.
In addition to her husband of 54 years, Maureen is survived by 4 children: Diane Cain of Nanuet, NY (William), Arlene Clements of San Diego, CA (Kevin), Thomas of Scarsdale, NY and Ken of New Windsor, NY (Annette). She loved each of her 11 grandchildren: Billy, Kevin, Catherine Cain; Kevin Clements; Keely, Cavan, Owen, Quinlan, Griffin, Brayden, Brenna McTigue. Maureen is also survived by her childhood best friend Kathleen Lynch Murphy.
Maureen is remembered by the many children who benefited from her volunteer arts and crafts classes at Our Lady of Fatima school and by the girls she coached on the basketball teams at OLF and IHM for many years.
Maureen was very artistic and had an excellent eye for decor. She started Outstanding Occasions, her party planning and production business, and brought happiness to many brides with her floral arrangements and to event chairpersons with her decorations.
Maureen was a 48 year parishioner of Our Lady of Fatima Church and was an active volunteer serving as a Eucharistic Minister and an officer in the St Elizabeth Guild.
Maureen enjoyed traveling, especially cruises, and visiting her grandchildren. She cheered on their teams in all sports in any kind of weather and always told each one - Good game.
Visitation will be on Wednesday, August 19 and Thursday, August 20 from 2pm to 4pm and 7pm to 9pm at the Edwin L Bennett Funeral Home, 824 Scarsdale Ave,. Scarsdale, NY. Requiem Mass will be celebrated on Friday, August 21 at 10am in Our Lady of Fatima Church, 5 Strathmore Road, Scarsdale, NY. Burial will follow at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Valhalla.
Arrangements under the direction of Edwin L. Bennett Funeral Homes, Scarsdale, NY.

Maureen cared so much for the children under her care. So many people didn't see her artistic side in those early days but she sure showed them later on. She so loved her flowers and made church and events cheery and welcoming. Dear Bob, you remained her hero always and took such good care of her. Good thoughts to all of you. Mary Fois and Family.

Bobby,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. Oh the memories! I am unable to come to Scarsdale this week. May the peace of the Lord be with you always and may the memories of Maureen's productive life and your good times together sustain you until you meet again. Love to you, your children, and your grandchildren. Mary Garrick
