February 1932 – October 2016
Maureen died peacefully at home, surrounded by her children: Colette, Jenifer (Andrew), Michel (Rick) and Innes (Christine). Maureen was predeceased by her parents, Bill and Mary, sister, Josephine, and her husband of 53 years, George. She leaves behind grandchildren Krysia, Janelle, Sean, Kosuke, Takuya, Esmee and March; and great grandchildren Aiyana, Aiden and Isabelle. Maureen was born in Glasgow, Scotland and came to Canada with her young family in 1962. She loved living on the North Shore and made West Vancouver her home for the last 43 years. She especially loved walking the Sea Wall with her close group of friends, the Wednesday Walkers, every week, rain or shine, for more than 30 years. Scottish Country Dancing was also a big part of her life. She started the Delbrook Dancers and taught all age groups, from children to seniors, for almost 40 years. She took her dancers to perform in hospitals, care centres and community events, spreading her love of music and joy of Scottish dancing to many. Another of her passions was her garden, where she spent many hours tending her flowers and vegetables, to the delight of all. Maureen will be missed by the many dear friends she made over her long and happy life, and by her family who love her so dearly.
A Celebration of Maureen’s life will be held at First Memorial Boal Chapel on Tuesday, November 29th, 2016 at 2:00 pm. 1505 Lillooet Road, North Vancouver.
Arrangements under the direction of First Memorial Funeral Services, North Vancouver, BC.
