Maureen Hurley

The third of 6 siblings (2 sisters and 3 brothers…born in that order), Maureen was born in the Bronx, NY, on June 14, 1938, to Thomas Benedict Hurley and Ann Mariah Hurley (nee Smith), and was raised in the Bronx and on Staten Island, NY, before moving in 1983 with her mother, to Indianapolis, IN, where she was a faithful member of St. Pius X Catholic church. She then relocated in July 2018 with her sister Ann Patricia “Pat” Cornelia (nee Hurley) from Indianapolis to Mt. Juliet, TN to live closer to her niece, Joan Cornelia-Wallace, where she resided at Maristone at Providence Senior Living until her death.

Maureen attended St. Peter’s Elementary School and St. Joseph’s Hill Academy High School on Staten Island, New York. After working for a time in an administrative capacity at Domino Sugar in Manhattan, NY, Maureen attended Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, New Jersey where she achieved a BS in Nursing. Maureen worked for many years at the former St. Vincent’s Hospital on Staten Island, and subsequently deployed her nursing expertise in various private duty nursing positions, both on Staten Island and in Indianapolis, before retiring from the healthcare field during the late, first decade of the 2000’s.

Maureen had an artistic bent, and enjoyed painting and many other crafts.

Maureen was preceded in death by her parents; sisters, Pat Cornelia, Joan A. Hurley of Manhattan, NY; brother, Thomas (Gigi) Hurley Jr. of Ft. Lauderdale, FL; sister-in-law, Diane (Joseph) Burgess-Hurley of Conroe, TX; and great-nephew, Vaughn Robert Cornelia of Mt. Juliet, TN.
