Her family and heart continued to grow through the years with more extended family members in both Canada and England including step family relations for many more not mentioned but still withholding a special place in her heart and memories. If you knew Maureen, fondly known as “Moe”, you knew a Beautiful Classy Lady who loved her Bling and Sparkles with a talent for decorating, fashion, hosting or helping out with special events. Maureen had a trail of close friendships like a second family and bonds with many wherever she went. She enjoyed sunny beaches, travelling, cruising, dancing, games of any kind and above all else her Social time with family and friends full of good times, good laughs, and a good glass of wine. She was a very giving and generous person and kept her sparkle, caring nature, great sense of humour, and zest for Life until her last breath.
We thank many of Maureen’s family, friends, and Health Care workers for all your support and care. As per Maureen’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a “Celebration of Life” will occur in the future (TBA) when we are able to do so together, one last party for Maureen.
In the meantime, we encourage family and friends of Maureen’s to share your messages, stories, adventures, pictures, and memories by visiting www.caruthersdavidson.com to sign her Book of Memories (Memory Wall).
If desired, a donation to the Cancer Society in her memory would also be appreciated by her family.
