Maureen E. "Reenie" Roach, 53, of Allentown, passed away Wednesday, March 6, 2024, in her residence. Born in Chicago, IL, she was a daughter of the late John P. and Susan M. (Ward) Roach. Reenie was a graduate of Parkland High School. She was a garment sorter for Cintas, where she was a loyal and dedicated team member for 16 years. She was a parishioner at Cathedral/St. Catharine of Siena, Allentown. Reenie loved watching movies of all genres, enjoying music and concerts (especially a good 80s band), dancing at any opportunity, vacationing on the beach, rooting for the Bears (and sometimes Eagles), and spending time with her family in the area and from Chicago. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her and fondly remembered for her easy warmth, kind smile, and gentle way.

Sigh...Another loss, and I'm late to the game. I knew Reenie for about 36 years. I met her through a mutual friend at Dorney Park in the Summer of '88. Reenie and I went to movies and we both even auditioned for local improv troupe The Associated Mess. I took an improv class but she immersed herself into the culture. She acted in a short film & music video I made. She was a pip and a joy to be around, I last saw her at my wedding in 2013 but I will miss her dearly.

I'll always remember Reenie's smile and joy. I hadn't seen her in many years but ran into her at the fair a few times recently and would have known that smile anywhere. Wishing your family peace and comfort in this difficult time.

I am sorry to hear of Maureen's passing. In school, she was always ready with a smile and a "Hello!" whether in homeroom, or by the lockers. May God comfort her and embrace her in eternal rest. My sincere condolences to the family.
