Maureen, (Mo, Moser, Grams, Gigi) and loving friend to many, spent most of her life in Centerville Ohio where she was a secretary at John Hole Elementary School for 19 years. Throughout her time in Centerville, she was involved with the Centerville Coeds, Wee Elk Football, Blue Star Moms and in later years enjoyed her daily walking group, where there may have been more talking than walking. Her move to Columbus in 2018 brought her closer to her daughters and a new community, Springleaf Place, where she met many people that soon became more like family. Her friendly, take-charge personality helped her to spearhead weekly Buckeye watch parties, Mahjong, Bingo, Wii Bowling, wizard card game and any other reason to get together to eat and have fun. She enjoyed daily dinners with her dear friend Bob Smith, where they not only shared a meal but engaging conversation about years past and current events. She ventured out to a Mahjong group at Giant Eagle, Upper Arlington, Ohio where she found a group of women who became her friends. She enjoyed cooking, baking, shopping and any activity that involved friends and family. Maureen’s unwavering faith was a blessing. She attended daily mass at St. Peter’s Catholic Church and coordinated communion for Springleaf residents who could not attend mass. Of all the things she loved in life, her greatest love was her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, where her legacy will live on. She will be greatly missed by her family, who find comfort in knowing Maureen has been re-united with her husband Bob as well as other family and friends who have passed. Rest in Peace Mom, we love you and will miss you daily.
