She was my aunt and I loved her. I miss her positive outlook and her goofy faces. She had a giant capacity for love and generously shared it.

Maureen was devoted to Lourdes youth, from working with CCD to helping teens in the teen club. I was one of those teens. She had a great willingness to help us in many ways to learn about our faith. I've missed her smile, teasing at church, and now will truly miss her.

My mother ,Jaquelyn Dalle Molle, is a resident at Community Nursing and she was a friend to Maureen. They would visit often and pray the Rosary together. My mom was comforted by Maureen as she praying the rosary when my brother was ill and when he passed away over 2 years ago. I was up there last week from Florida and my mom went to see Maureen in her last days. I recall seeing Maureen on my many visits to see my mom. She was a devoted person. My mother is mourning the loss of her friend. She may try to make an early visit to the wake, if she is able. Our families thoughts and prayers are with yours at this time.
