Maureen Walsh Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Maureen was a graduate of Edgewood College in Madison, Wisconsin and held master's degrees from Northwestern University and Rosary College. She was a librarian and teacher for the entirety of her career. From her days as a reference librarian in Downers Grove, to establishing surgical libraries at the University of Chicago, to teaching children to read at Seward Academy in the Back of the Yards neighborhood, Maureen was always a success. That continued success led her to have a long and fruitful career.
Maureen was proud of her academic and career accomplishments, but more so of her personal ones. In addition to her family, she enjoyed the many long-lasting friendships developed through the years. Whether from her days at Edgewood, her time at CPS, or the many dear neighbors in Hinsdale (the 4th of July was never a quiet one), she made many life-long friends. She will be missed by all.
Maureen's life was full of love, intellect, and friendship. It was a life well lived.
