Maureen Claire Schneider

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Maureen Claire (Thomas) Schneider in her home on October 23, 2024, at the age of 82. Maureen was born on February 22, 1942 in Boston, MA to Maurice and Genevieve (Turowski) Thomas.

Maureen graduated from Boston Girls Latin High School and graduated from Quincy Hospital School for Nursing. She worked as a head nurse of the operating room at Milton Hospital, Tobey Hospital, and as a hospital nursing supervisor at Cape Cod Hospital. After retiring, she volunteered in the town of Sandwich at the Council on Aging.

Preceded in death by her mother and father, Maurice and Genevieve Thomas.

She is survived by her sister, Karen (Thomas) Berube; daughter, Jennifer (Schneider) Kelley; son, Stephen Schneider; son-in-law Sean Kelley; daughter-in-law, Irina Schneider; grandchildren Sean Kelley Jr., Mikayla (Kelley) Rieland, Brayden Kelley, Eva Schneider, Anya Schneider; granddaughter-in-law, Mackenzie (Arnold) Kelley, and grandson-in-law, Brad Rieland; great-grandchildren, Bryson Rieland, Bennett Rieland, Logan Kelley, Clarabelle Travers, and Rosalie Travers, and several loving nephews, and cousins.

Maureen was a devoted grandmother and loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She enjoyed visiting with them, hearing about their adventures/milestones, and receiving updated pictures of them.

Maureen treasured her friendship with Patricia Goss. The friendship spanned many decades and she enjoyed traveling, her daily talks, and Chinese take-out with a Mai Tai with her.

Throughout her life, she cherished her canine friends, who she treated like her own children. She left behind her beloved Zaki.

While our hearts mourn the loss, we take comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering. She will be missed and remembered by the many lives she touched.

A celebration of life will be scheduled at a later date.
