Maureen was a person that you loved the minute you met her.  She had a personality that would light up a room and make everyone smile.  Her sewing skills were perfect, making many clothes for her children and altering prom and wedding dresses.  Maureen also enjoyed gardening, watching hummingbirds, and looking at lighthouses.  She was the author of the “Talpa Talk” edition of the Coleman Chronicle and Democrat for many years.  Maureen was also a practical joker, making April Fools’ day her favorite holiday.

Maureen had a strong Christian faith in which she shared with her family and community.  She was a volunteer for the Child Evangelism Fellowship for fifty years and was a devout member of the Voss Baptist Church.  Maureen loved her family and friends and cherished the time spent with them.
