Maureen was a talented musician who used her gift at St. Theresa’s Church for nearly 50 years as their organist – playing masses, rehearsing with the choir, playing at funerals and weddings. After she retired, she continued to share her talent by volunteering at The Little Sisters of the Poor in Palatine, playing weekly masses there.

She was dearly loved by her family and her love will live on in all of them.
