We were so sad and shocked to hear of Maura's passing.Having spoken to her about 3 weeks ago, I tried phoning her last week, not knowing that her health had declined so quickly.
Maura was a great friend of my mother, Etta O'Donoghue, through many years in Regina and visited her frequently at Marian Chateau. She also brought her to and from Irish Club events. She recently visited her in Riverbend Crossing , where my mother is now a resident.
She and my mother spent many hours on the phone, reviewing Roughriders games -rejoicing over the victories and lamenting the losses, especially through the last season.
It was a blessing to us that they shared this interest.It kept them in constant contact and our mother had a friend with whom she could enjoy her 'passion'.
I know that Maura will be sadly missed by many friends around the world, by her family in Ireland and in particular by her immediate family.
Sincere sympathy to you all, it is truly a great shock to us that Maura has gone, having been in great form as she set off to B.C. such a short time ago.
May she rest in peace.
