Maureen attended G.A.R Memorial High School. She was a woman with a heart whose love knew no bounds. Her work ethic was like no other and she took pride in all she did. Whether giving her time helping someone in need or simply taking time to sit with a friend to offer much welcomed advice and comfort, she always gave as much of herself to benefit others as she had. Her love for her children and grandchildren was immense and they adored her as well. Our only solice comes in knowing that she is now in the company of her husband, Zigmund Michael Flis.
