Maureen grew up in North Royalton, Ohio where she went to the University of Cincinnati to become a teacher and later became a Paralegal for the IRS District Council.

Maureen was a Girl Scout Troop leader for many years and she also volunteered her time maintaining historical cemeteries in the area.

One of her most enjoyable adventures was her trip to visit Egypt with her daughter to see the pyramids. Maureen had a true love for family, friends, and pets. She was the type of person that would always be there to help you out if you needed it.
