Maureen graduated from Saint Peter and Paul High School in Chicago then went on to a long-distinguished career as an executive assistant with Midwestern University/Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine. In retirement, Moe loved to spend time with friends, work out with her trainers at the gym, attend a prayer walking group regularly, and loved to eat out and bbq on her grill.
Maureen’s grandsons, Tanner and Jace, were the absolute love of her life, along with her cats Mojo and Bo.

I would like to inquire if Maureen ever lived in Chicago on 82nd and Exchange. Did she ever attend grammar school at St. Bride?
If answer.is yes to either or both of these questions, I was a former classmate.
So sorry for your loss.
