Maurene McCredie Obituary
Moe was born on June 27, 1958, in New London, the daughter of the late John E. "Jack" and Lila (Rizk) Maynard.
She was married to Robert McCredie on April 27, 2002, in New London.
A 1976 graduate of New London High School, Moe began working in the business office of The Day while in high school and spent more than ten years there. She then went on to work for many years at most of the upscale restaurants in New London.
Very active in fundraising, Moe was well known for her efforts and volunteerism on behalf of many charities in eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island. She had an enormous zest for life, the sun, and beach vacations, especially her annual trek to the beaches of North Carolina.
Besides her husband, Bob, she is survived by her sister, Elaine Maynard-Adams of New London; her step-children and their spouses, Jonathan and Stephanie McCredie of Marshfield, Mass., Meredith and Robert Tukey of East Lyme; her aunts, Marie Forgione of Southington and Louisa Shakkkour of New London; a niece, Jennifer Adams of Boston; and her four beloved grandchildren, Tyler and Isabella McCredie of Marshfield and Jacob and Connor Tukey of East Lyme.
Her family will receive relatives and friends from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Saturday at Port and Starboard at Ocean Beach Park in New London. A celebration of her life will immediately follow. Burial will be private.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations in her memory be directed to the Woviotis Schloarship Fund, c/o Atty George Kanabis, 320 State St., New London CT 06320, which benefits high school senior student athletes at New London, Waterford, and East Lyme high schools.

Bob - I was so sorry to hear about Moe when my aunt called to tell me. I will always remember the good times we had at the Tavern during my formative years. She was a very special person during a very happy time in my life. Downtown's lights will be a little dimmer now - but our souls will be brighter for having had her in our lives.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
