Smart, brave, steeped in the craft and theory of clinical social work, Maureen had much to teach. She was also mischievous and a fun companion.

Dr.D, you were a woman of presence and principle. You impacted many generations of social workers, and will always be the voice of reason for many practitioners. Won't forget your stories of being a "rosy the riveter " during WWII or your afternoon cocktails! You will be missed, Maureen!

We are so sad to hear about Maureen's passing. She was a wonderful neighbor and we enjoyed our many visits - eating "nibblers" and solving world problems. Our condolences to the family. Maureen was a great lady.
