To Maureen’s family

I am deeply sorry for your loss.

Maureen was an inspiration to so many people in our chosen field of Transfusion/Laboratory services. When I served with Maureen on the CSMLS Board of Directors, she gave me the gift of her patience and generous support at a time when mentoring meant a great deal to me. Trying to ‘pay it forward’ in her memory. In closing, my condolences to all her loved ones. Kate Gagliardi

Maureen touched our family in ways that words can not express. Her family values have left us with many memories from our reunions that will remain with us for the rest of our lives. She brought us all together so we could share stories from days gone by. Thank you Maureen.

We were so blessed to have Maureen and family attend Garvin’s celebration of life earlier this year. Her smiling face from that day will be a cherished memory of her.

Please accept our condolences from Brett, Linda, Shayna, Americo, Jarod, Melissa, Garvin (in Memory), Colleen and Bev.

Please accept my deepest regrets for the passing of Maureen. I knew her since the U of A in Edmonton 40 years ago where we worked as lab technologists and over the years our paths crossed many times. She was not only a leader in her field but friendly to all and a lot of fun to be around. It was through her that I first became interested in being on the CSMLS Board of Directors. She was an exceptional person and well thought of around the country. She will be greatly missed.

Sincerely Carol

Peter, Jeff, Sherri and Ryan and families – I was so shocked and saddened to get this sad news. Maureen and I had recently visited (via telephone) a mere 3 weeks ago. I have known Maureen for close to 45 years – we were colleagues, co-workers and good friends. Yes she was truly an inspiration to all who knew her – she exuded an amazing energy and vitality that I so admired. My sincerest heartfelt condolences to all of you at this very sad time.

I had the privilege of working with Maureen during her years as an instructor at NAIT. I shared an office with for a few years. I was a newbie to the Medical Lab teaching group. Maureen was an incredible person. She mentored and guided me both as an instructor and as a person moving into life’s adult challenges. She was also an extremely fun-loving person, we had loads of laughs. I am deeply saddened to hear of Maureen’s passing. My deepest condolences to her family.

Maureen was a gift , she worked hard and was a friend as well as a co-worker. She will be missed.God be with you and your family during this time.

Maureen was a gem – unique and priceless. Definately a sparkplug just like Grannie Morris. Sheri, Jeff and Ryan you all have her wit, her twinkle and her smile. She was the best story teller and I hope you have the opportunity to share some of her “finest” moments. Love to you all from your old Aunti Sheila. We shall toast a glass of red wine in her honour on the 23rd. (Maureen will be saying more than one glass I hope)

Maureen was a pleasure to work with. She always had a smile and time for me.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Maureen. I knew Maureen as an instructor when I was taking the MLS program at U of A and then as a colleague teaching in the NAIT Medical Lab Technology Program. Maureen was an excellent instructor, and always encouraging and supportive to students. She was vivacious, warm, and a pleasure to work with. She was deeply committed to the profession of Medical Lab Technology and made significant volunteer contributions. Although our paths have not crossed for a few years, she was a friend and I will miss her!
