Maureen D. Baugh, 56, of Canton, passed away suddenly on September 21, 2020. Maureen was born on December 30, 1963 in Detroit, Michigan, the youngest of eight children born to Richard C. & Dolores M. Baugh.
Maureen received her Bachelor’s and earned a Master’s degree from Wayne State University in Library Science. She was a Librarian for the Farmington Hills Public Library for 36 years and they were her second family. Maureen had a wacky fun sense of humor & loved innocent practical jokes. Her favorite place on earth...Mullett Lake...boating, long water walks, swimming with the kids, campfires, and reading on the dock. Maureen was a voracious reader and it was her favorite activity. She was a volunteer leader in the LifeCare woman’s retreats with her church. She loved children of all ages and enjoyed playing all kinds of board games with her nieces and nephews. She was faith filled and believed in making miracles happen! She once walked 250 miles to raise money to build a water well that would serve a village in Africa. The children no longer had to walk five miles to fill water containers as part of their daily chores.
Maureen is survived by her siblings, Robert (Linda) Baugh, Carolyn (Harry) Parr-Hirt, Mary Ellen (Tedd) Baugh-Swartz, Joanne (Jim) Courage, Richard (Elizabeth) Baugh, Kevin (Laura) Baugh, James (Darla) Baugh; and uncle, Father David Baugh. Seventeen nieces and nephews and more than 20 grand nieces and nephews also survive. Maureen was predeceased by her parents.
