I was one of the receptionists at Wicksteed House Medical Centre and also At Jane Winstone- am so blessed to have known your Mum - Maureen was such a breath of fresh air and we often had a chuckle. She was such a cool lady and I know will be sorely missed. Sending my sincere condolences and love to you Kerry and family xxx

Our wonderful Ocky. Gone to her reward, probably singing Hail Queen of Heaven on her way.
Precious memories of a beautiful lady.

With very deepest sympathy to each and everyone. A remarkable lady with a great sense of humour - the best comedy producer and creator of very many happy memories. Knew every Irish traditional song!
