Maureen Cassidy Obituary
She is survived by her siblings, Robert E. Cassidy Jr., Michael P. Cassidy, Stacey (Romano) Cassidy, Joanne (Cassidy) McNamara and her husband Kevin, and Paul J. Cassidy and his wife Sarah. Her brother, Thomas E. Cassidy; her sister-in-law, Susan (Lupinacci) Cassidy; and her son, Adam Pfitz; predeceased her. Maureen is also survived by her nieces and nephews, Christine and Emily Cassidy, Ryan Cassidy, Carina Cavaliere, Colin and Erin McNamara, and Connor and Ella Cassidy; as well as her great-nephew, Wyatt Hagaman and great-niece, Addison Cavaliere.
Maureen graduated from Stamford Catholic High School in Stamford and went on to be trained as a dental hygienist. She worked at dental offices in Stamford and later relocated to Clifton Park, N.Y.
"Reen", or "Mo" to her friends, was beloved to her siblings and parents. She spent the last years of her life visiting and caring for her parents regularly in East Lyme. While there, she frequently attended Mass with them at St. Agnes Church in Niantic. She befriended many members of the St. Agnes community through the time she spent with her parents. Reen had a never-ending depth of compassion, resolve, and patience in times when she was needed.
During her parents' last years of life, she devoted her time to caring for them. Her family and friends will remember her as a generous soul who loved to laugh.
A celebration of Maureen's life will be scheduled sometime in the future.

I dated Maureen many years ago, there where ups & downs, but I only remember the ups. Fond memories from the cottage and fishing on the QC II. I only am sending this now, because I just heard of her passing. Sending good thoughts to the family.

Reen loved the "Sistas," her aunts Dot, Mary, Catherine, Ginna, Joan (and uncles Gene, Tom) though we rarely were together. We were blessed having her in our family and I know she is now with her loved ones in Heaven.
Love,
Aunt Joan
