She was surrounded by her five children and their spouses, Tommy, Liz, Bobby, Lori, Jackie, Bob, Kathy, Annette, and Tom.
Maureen was born in Brooklyn NY, the first-born child of Irish immigrant parents. Her brothers Bill and Brian called her Mo. She did all the typical things an Irish Catholic girl of her time did, but was quite unique to those of us who knew her.
Maureen loved a road trip and would go anywhere at a moments notice. Even at 91, she had a map-like mind knowing every highway, exit, and short cut to any place she had ever been. She was even better than a GPS as she often had candy in her bag. That being said, despite her navigational talents, she still managed to be, without a doubt, the worst driver in the Western Hemisphere.
Mo never had an unkind thing to say about anyone, but you could tell she was thinking it! She was a kind, fair minded soul who forgave easily and enjoyed the little things in life that most of us forget to. As a mother, she ruled the home with a not-so-firm hand. She had five children who gave her constant work and ultimately, a bad bladder.
If you knew Maureen, it was impossible not to love her. Maureen's passing made the world a little sadder…and the roads a lot safer.
In addition to her children, she is also survived by her brother and sister-in-law, Brian and Lorraine, Nieces and nephews, Diane, Jerry, Michael, Regina, grandchildren Kristin, Ozzy, Sammy, Dani, Chelsea, Meggie, Luke, Julie and Matteo, and great- granddaughter, Sofie. She is predeceased by her younger brother, Bill. She will be missed by many including former husband Thomas, and many friends old and new.
Visitation will be held at the Claude R. Boyd-Spencer Funeral Home, 448 W. Main St., in Babylon, NY on Friday, December 27th from 2-5pm and again from 7-9pm. Interment will be at St. Charles Cemetery at approx. 11am on Saturday, December 28th. In lieu of flowers, donations to a cause Maureen was extremely passionate about would be greatly appreciated.
