I'm so sorry. I was a Bellevue classmate of Maureens's and I believe I last saw her at our 50th Reunion. She was a lovely warm and fun person.

It is with great sadness to learn the loss of another family member (that is how I view the Bellevue class of 1964). I lived on the 9th floor, as did Maureen, only on the other end as we were divided by a lounge. She was a character always funny. But I remember most her nickname, we called her Miggy Moo. Hard to think we were only 17 when we started school and here a lifetime has passed. I send my deepest sympathy to her family. God Bless Valerie Buckley

Maureen was a classmate at Bellevue, where we learned the basics of good nursing care, so not a surprise to know of her long career. We enjoyed re-visiting those days, and catching up on life since at our reunions....I know how she loved her family & friends. Her sense of humor, especially, was a wonderful trait that added to her joy of life, and I'm sure everyone in family & beyond will smile with all the memories she left behind. A woman whose life deserves celebrating! My condolences to her family.

Maureen and I were classmates at Bellevue Hospital, graduating in 1964. Maureen was smart, witty, and caring. We had many happy and sad times during our nursing education years, but Maureen remained optimistic! She will be remembered fondly. Rest In Peace dear Maureen.

You are the sunshine of our life, that's why you'll always be around. You are the apple of our eye, forever you'll be in our hearts. I feel that this is the beginning, though I've loved you for 50 years; and if I thought our love was ending I'd find myself drowning in my own tears. You must have known that we we're lonely, because you came to our rescue. And I know you must be in heaven, how could so much love be inside of you. Love has joined us, let's think sweet love. Mine busta friend. Judy D

Jan. 10th, what a difference a day makes, 24 little hours, brought the sun and the flowers - where there use to be you. My yesterdays were blue dear, today I'm part of you dear. My lonely nights are here dear; since you have gone. Lord, what a difference a day makes, there's a rainbow before us, sky's above can't be stormy since that moment you left. It's heaven when you find Maureen on your menu. What a difference a day made, and the difference is you.

I too was from the Class of 64... yes we were just kids but we learned compassion and caregiving and we grew strong together... Spending more than 50 yrs in the nursing profession is a testimony of a job well learned... Congratulations Maureen and may you Rest In Peace... the thoughts and prayers of your alumnae are with your family and friends. Elaine

I met Maureen 15 years ago when I took a Yoga course with her. We then met several times dinner afterwards. I was so sad to see that she passed as we had so much fun together. I wish Hank the best; he was my next-door neighbor at DuPont.

I am also a member of Bellevue class of 64. News of Mickey’s passing is so sad. I always looked forward to seeing her a the reunions. She was truly a joyful person who brought laughter in her wake. Believe me, there were many days we needed to laugh and not cry. Thank you Mickey. Rest in the arms of God.

Steve, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I enjoyed working with your mother and have fond memories. She always managed to make me smile and in the ED that can be tough. She was a caring and thoughtful woman.
