Maureen P Maher (nee Daly) age 74 of Morristown passed away peacefully at her home while receiving the loving care of her family.
Maureen was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and lived there until 1965. She then moved to Wayne where she lived for 42 years until she moved to Morristown in 2007. Maureen grew up in Brooklyn where she met her husband, Austin J. Maher. Eventually that friendship became something special and they were married in 1962. It was a few years after they were married that the couple moved to Wayne, where they would spend and cherish their 44 years of marriage and raise their four children.
Maureen's primary occupation was as a homemaker where she devoted herself to caring and nurturing her family. After raising her family, Maureen attended Caldwell College where she earned her Bachelor Degree in Business. She then went on to work as a bookkeeper at St Joseph's Hospital in Paterson and as an office manager for Standard Tile in Wayne.
A large part of Maureen's life was her dedication to the Catholic Faith. She mentored at the Paterson Catholic High School for several years, which unfortunately closed at the end of the 2010 school year. She also volunteered at the Morristown Soup Kitchen. She was also a Foster Parent in Wayne for DYFS.
Maureen embraced life and was an avid world traveler. She has been to every habitable continent except Africa, one of her few regrets. Just prior to falling ill, she had finalized a trip to Africa that never came to pass. She did, however, enjoyed extensive travel throughout the United States, Europe, and such far-flung regions as Turkey, Vietnam, China, Tibet, Cambodia, and South America. Her travels allowed her the opportunity to experience diverse and fascinating cultures throughout the world.
Maureen was a devoted mother, a loving wife and a wonderful person who was dedicated to her community, friends and family. She will be sincerely missed by all who knew her.
Maureen is survived by her 3 sons; Austin and his wife Jeanne of Raleigh, NC, Christopher and his wife Maria of Rumson, and Brendan and his wife Raquel Bini Maher of Pompton Lakes, 1 daughter; Jacqueline Maher of Manhattan, 2 brothers Jack Daly of Portsmouth, RI, and James Daly of Lawrence, NY, and 10 grandchildren; Austin, Liam, Jacqueline, Patrick, Isabel, Alexandra, James, Catherine, Jennifer, and Elizabeth. Maureen was also pre-deceased by her husband, Austin, who passed away tragically in 2007.
