Maureen Kathryn Wilson Pendleton

the late Helen Taft Wilson and John Charles Wilson, Jr. Deeply rooted with

the importance of family and the value of each individual, Maureen spent

her existence devoted to improving the lives of everyone she encountered.

While raising four children of her own, Maureen established a career of

service performing duties as an Administrator for the governmentally

funded Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). During her tenure she impacted

the lives of numerous women and children, taking on each case as if

it was her own. The struggles of each WIC applicant had a special place in

her heart. She also held the position of Administrative Assistant in the low

income housing unit Rolling Hills Apartment Complex. Maureen’s empathetic

and loving nature did not stay in Pennsylvania after relocating her

family to Dallas. Instead, while working at Southern Methodist University,

she spearheaded campaigns for organizations including Dress for Success

and Meals on Wheels. Later, she took the position as Office Assistant for

North Dallas Community Bible Fellowship. Through each of these endeavors,

Maureen gained an extended family she never imagined.

Maureen adored arts and crafts and touched the lives of many through her

creativity. She enjoyed cooking and cleaning, and she frequently invited

friends and family into her home for home-cooked meals.

Maureen is survived by her husband, Bobby Pendleton, of McKinney, TX;

four children, Russell Carter (Sherri) of McKinney, TX, Elaine Logan

(Herb) of Garland, TX, John Carter of Dallas, TX, and Traci Ferguson

(Joseph) of Los Angeles, CA.; seventeen grandchildren, Krystal, Herb, Jr.,
