Maureen was very proud of her Mayo heritage and her family in Claremorris. She was a driving force in the Mayo Society of NY over many decades. She and other members welcomed a wave of younger members in the 1990s and we enjoyed many events and activities. Maureen was full of energy, very kind and helped many people along the way. May she rest in peace.
May her soul Rest In Peace.
May she rest in peace.
