Maureen was a wonderful professional and a delightful person. I am sad but pray that she is lying in the arms of Jesus. She left this world a better place and I will honor her path.

It was an honor and a pleasure to work with Maureen. She was always professional ans supportive in her work and had a delightful demeanor. My heart is sad, and I pray she lies peacefully in the arms of Jesus. She left this world a better place, and I will honor her path.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Maureen's family, friends and her United Way family as they struggle with the loss of their dear Maureen.  Through the ups and downs, challenges and successes of working with families, Maureen was always ready to offer me an encouraging word and helpful suggestion.  Thinking of you all on the loss of such a great lady, mentor, friend and colleague.

Maureen is a dear friend and colleague.  I will so miss her spirit and the way she worked with people.  Maureen and her impact will always be part of the fabric of our community.  We are all better for having had the chance to know Maureen

Maureen was an articulate, hard working and compassionate person.  She listened to the comments of others and worked to incorporate their concerns and ideas.  We at Iowa Legal Aid appreciated her assistance and guidance. She will be missed as a resource to us and many others in this community.

I worked with Maureen briefly over the last four years as a funded partner of United Way. I am grateful for the patient and kind way that she coached me in my first year working with United Way.  I shall remember her as a consistently pleasant and professional person.  Please accept my sincerest condolences and I pray that the Lord will provide you comfort.

A strong woman isn't afraid of anything-but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear.
A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her -but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone.
A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey-but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong.

Maureen was one of the strongest women I have come to know.  She will be missed but not easily forgotten.  

Deepest sympathy to her family. 

Peace.

Chris, our heartfelt sympathy to you and your extended family.  We will never forget the first Christmas after we had become clients that you arrived at our door with cookies and goodies baked by Maureen, an annual tradition, you told us!  The fact that you always spoke so highly of her speaks volumes about you both and your marriage.  I'm sorry that we didn't know Maureen personally, but we certainly knew her through you and your business.  Our prayers and thoughts continue to be with you, Chris.  Judy Quick, Jim & Jack Spooner, & DUKE!

My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. She was always there for us when we needed her wisdom and guidance. Her work affected many children and families in Central Iowa. We will miss her caring ways and friendly smile.

My heart goes out to Maureen's husband and family at this difficult, difficult time.  I met Maureen this January when she returned to United Way after her medical leave. I had anticipated her return because of the exceptional things I had heard of her and the very kind and warm emails that she had sent in response to each question I had posed. Upon her return I learned for myself that Maureen was a person of great integrity. I could count on her full, undivided attention when I had a need and for an honest and clear answer no matter my concern. Every moment she was present, dignified and determined. If it was possible to defeat cancer through strength of character and determination of spirit, Maureen would have done it. I am so sorry for the loss of Maureen.

Maureen had such a presence and determination about her. She was fighter to the end.Maureen will be with you - just look for the signs and you will know she is there.  We are going to miss her so much, and she will always be in our hearts and part of United Way....

I appreciated and valued Maureen's input and involvement on our Grantmaking Committee.  She was a strong advocate for the nonprofit sector in our community and made an impact that will live on.  I will miss her so much.  My prayers and sympathy are with you all.

Chris,
Camie and I extend our deepest sympathy to you.  Please know our thoughts are with you.

I greatly appreciated Maureen's values and work ethic while she & I were coworkers. A truly wonderful person. Peace & love of Christ to all who are hurting from this loss.

I just started working as a board member for United Way of Central Iowa last spring.  Very early during a sub-committee training session, I needed some assistance with a project that I was working on and Maureen did not hesitate to help me when I called on her.  As she worked with me, I discovered her battle with cancer.  However, during our visit, I discovered something even more important, I discovered a very kind and wonderful person.  She will be missed.  My thoughts and prayers go out to her family during this very difficult time.

Maureens Kraft und Tapferkeit während ihrer schweren Leidenszeit wird uns immer in Erinnerung bleiben. Sie erlebt nun, was sie geglaubt hat.

What a gift it was to know Maureen - she was always helpful and kind, both professionally and personally.  Our hearts go out to her husband and family, and to her "United Way" family, who worked with her for so many years.  She will be missed by all of us at Chrysalis, and I will miss her dearly.

My deepest sympathy to Maureen's husband, family and colleagues.  She is a friend and a colleague. I had the privilege of working with her at the Department of Education and was so happy when her position at United Way brought us together again.  Maureen was such an asset to United Way-she had really found her niche there.  She could take the most complex information and make it easy to understand. She was caring, patient, kind, fair, honest and flexible. She always had a smile and she was always willing to find a solution.  Maureen has left the community a better place for children and families-and us all.  She will be missed terribly.

Maureen was an amazing woman, and all of us at the Young Women's Resource Center genuinely appreciate the expertise and passion she shared to help strengthen our organization. Her dedication to United Way and our entire community was truly admirable. She will be deeply missed, but the impact she made will always be with us, as we will hold her in our hearts and memories...

Maureen always asked how YOU were doing and would do anything for you.  She was a beautiful woman, smart, sassy, loving and kind.  My heart hurts for Christoph and her family.

When Maureen returned to work at United Way, she was so at peace with her needs, her life and her priorities. She knew what was important and was determined to focus on only those things in her life that mattered. It was spiritually uplifting to talk with her about her lessons learned and her outlook on life.

My deepest sympathies to Maureen's family. Maureen was such a great combination of faith, intelligence, integrity, positive determination, and a warm, giving heart. I am so grateful to have known her. May we all learn from her and accept challenges in our life with as much strength and grace as she did.

My condolences to Chris and extended family.   May you find peace in knowing Maureen is now out of pain and with her maker.  I am sorry for your loss.

In Proverbs 31 you will read these words "Who can find a virtuous woman, For her price is far more than rubies". Maureen exemplified all the characteristics of a virtuous woman: 
- She worked willingly and tirelessly with both her mind and her hands
- She rose early.. while it was yet night to prepare for the day ahead
- She was charitable and benevolent to those in need and never sought attention nor praise 
- She was kind and understanding and saw the best in folks when others had written them off
- But most of all she was God-fearing and humble.  Not just a colleague, but truly my friend!!!  We will miss but never forget you!!!

Maureen was an exceptional young lady who will be missed by all. She always had a smile in her voice and on her face.
She made our community a better place. My deepest condolences to her family.
God bless.

Maureen will be missed but not forgotten.  Her contribution at United Way and with us volunteers has left a lasting impact on all of us involved and all those we serve.  Thank you for sharing your talent and gifts, Maureen.  You made a difference every day.  God bless you my friend.  Until we meet again, Joyce Pingel

It was my pleasure to work with Maureen very closely over the past year. I considered her a friend, not just a colleague. She will be missed by many.

Sorry for your loss our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Mark and Patti Cooper

I was 38 years old when I left Berlin, Germany to make the long trip across the Atlantic Ocean to finally live with the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. In spite of a complete new start in the middle of my adult life and having to bid farewell to many things that were valuable to me Maureen and Iowa were what I had always hoped for. However only three months shy of our 10 wedding anniversary I was not able to save The Love of my Life from cancer. I would have given everything I own including myself. You would have deserved it, Maureen.
 
There is no one who doesn't mourn – even our animals!
