The couple moved to the Bayfield area and have been there for 13 years. Maureen enjoyed animals of all kinds, but especially enjoyed raising and caring for chickens. She gave all of her chickens’ names and even made “coats” for them to wear! She loved Colorado, reading, watching "The Young and the Restless," and gardening. She was an avid fan of the San Francisco 49ers football team. "Win, suck or lose, I will always be right there with them!" She is survived by Clint Bennett (spouse) of Bayfield, John Donahue (brother) of Calif., Redbird Walker (half-sister) of Olympia, Wash., numerous nieces and nephews, and many friends. She is preceded in death by her parents.
