Maureen was a strong and independent woman who whole heartily served the community. She was a mentor to at-risk youth, co-workers, and
friends in need. She was an advocate for women, children, and animals. Maureen loved animals and spent time with her therapy dogs visiting seniors as well as children’s hospitals. She worked tirelessly rescuing dogs and cats and fostering them until they found their forever home. Maureen was a voracious reader and believed you should never stop learning. Maureen encouraged us to have faith and believed we are in control of our own destiny. She encouraged us to pursue higher education and practice positive visualization. Her favorite quotes were “Every day getting better and better” and “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” Maureen is remembered for her humility, care for others, but mostly for her relentless desire to evoke change. We will miss her dearly but Maureen’s legacy to make the world a better place through change will live forever. With sincere love and respect from her dear friends Melinda Zulaica, Rose Snow, and Daniel Ramon.
