They married on May 24, 1965 and enjoyed 59 years of love and adventure. Together they raised their only child, Johnny. Maureen adored him. She was so proud of his accomplishments. He was the light of her life. Maureen always loved to be active. As a younger woman she played racquetball and jogged. When she was 39, she joined the police academy and served the city of Chicago as a police officer for eight years. For the past 30 years, golf became her passion and favorite pastime. Whether it was playing with her foursome of girlfriends in Florida or playing close to home with her husband, son, and grandson, Jack. She loved the game. She was a lifelong fan of the Chicago Cubs, the Mount Carmel Caravan, and more recently, the Clemson Tigers. Maureen was an avid animal lover. She raised several dogs in her lifetime. Closest to her heart were Murphy and her sweet Bella who she leaves behind. She loved to decorate, cook, and entertain. She loved a good party.
