Maureen Pipal Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Hallowell & James Funeral Home - Countryside on Jan. 31, 2026.
Maureen (Moe) Pipal, née McClure, age 65; daughter of the late Pat and Ed McClure; grateful, loving mother of Kevin (Emily) and Brian (Tyler); sister of Kathy, Mike (Jeri) and Tim.

She worked for St. Francis Xavier Parish for 23 years, which was a gift in her own faith journey. Each priest she assisted taught her valuable lessons, as she witnessed them live out their selfless ministries.

Moe left this earth filled with love, and hopes this love will continue to spread after she is gone. The laughs and good times were countless. Moe's biggest joy was simply being with her family.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Moe's name to Equality Illinois (http://equalityillinois.us) and Hinsdale Humane Society (https://hinsdalehumanesociety.org/) are appreciated.

A visitation will be held from 10:00 am until time of Memorial Mass, 11:00 am on Friday, February 6, 2026 at St. Francis Xavier Church, 124 North Spring Avenue, La Grange. Mass will be livestreamed at https://www.facebook.com/SFXParish.LG/videos/844943801878325/ Interment private.

Arrangements entrusted to Hallowell & James Funeral Home, Countryside at (708) 352-6500.
