She received the prestigious Order Of St. Louis from the Archbishop of New Orleans for outstanding contributions to the local church community.

She loved to sing and to play the guitar, winning many talent shows amongst her peers at Dominican, performing both solo and in a duo act called “The Pastels.”

Maureen was a devout Catholic, with a particularly strong faith in the Blessed Mother. She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, and helping to care for her granddaughter Audrey.

She enjoyed traveling with her husband Bill whenever she could, and loved taking trips to both the east and west coasts during fall. Maureen took great pride in her work at the Dept. of Veterans Affairs, which enabled her to truly make a positive difference in the lives of many military veterans.
