Maureen Delepine Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by John F. Pfleger Funeral Home, Inc. on Jan. 23, 2026.
Maureen P. Delepine, 92, of Middletown, NJ, died peacefully at home on January 22, 2026. She was born in New York, NY and was raised in Bronx, NY before moving with her young family to Middletown more than 63 years ago. Maureen worked for many years in the banking industry, retiring as an Assistant Manager.

Surviving are her four daughters, Norma (Michael Leist) Delepine, Maureen Delepine, Patricia Delepine, Barbara Delepine; her son, Michael (Susan) Delepine; 6 grandchildren (Caitlin, Christie, Connor, Morgan, Peter and Emily); and 5 great-grandchildren.

Maureen was preceded in death by her husband of over 60 years, Francis "Frank" X. Delepine; her son, Francis Gerard Delepine; as well as 2 grandsons, Taylor Delepine and Michael RJ Leist, and a granddaughter, Lauren Marie Delepine. She is also preceded by her parents, Michael and Sabina Ruane; her brother, Bro. Martin Ruane, fms; and her sister, Norma Ruane.

Anyone who knew Maureen knew she was all about her family and spending quality time with them. She was an avid knitter and enjoyed reading (when her eyes were still good). She and her husband Frank loved traveling to California (often) as well as trips to Ireland, London, Scotland, Hawaii, Alaska and so much more! A few once in a lifetime highlights came late in life with an opportunity to see the Northern Lights and a trip to Niagara Falls! We were blessed to have her as long as we did and we know she touched so many people's lives over her many years. Fun fact: She could eat her weight in candy kisses!

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, from 4pm to 8pm at John F. Pfleger Funeral Home, 115 Tindall Road, Middletown. A Funeral Liturgy will be offered on Thursday, January 29, 2026 at 10:00am at Mary Mother of God Church, 19 Cherry Tree Farm Rd., New Monmouth.
In lieu of flowers please consider a contribution in Maureen's name to the American Macular Degeneration Foundation, PO Box 515, Northampton, MA 01061-0515 or online: https://www.macular.org/want-to-help/donate. Arrangements are under the direction of John F. Pfleger Funeral Home, Middletown.

We were saddened to hear of Maureen´s passing. Reaching age 92 is such a remarkable milestone, but even a long life feels to short when it´s someone we love. Maureen was a true pillar of our family . We will miss her stories and warmth dearly. Please accept our deepest condolences. With love, Cathy and Artie Goodwin
