Maureen R. Bours

Flushing, NY on July 28, 1939 and was married to her husband, Charlie, for 60 years. Maureen was an active member of Calvary Lutheran Church since 1968. She volunteered her time as a den mother for the cub scouts as well as being a greeter for Vacation Bible School. Mom was also part of the Red Hats, the “Sweethearts” of the Korean War Veterans. While married to Charlie, they truly enjoyed life while raising two children, Mark and Patricia. Some of trips they took over the years were Italy, Bahamas, North Carolina visiting with Tricia and her grandchildren, New Hampshire and Lake George. Maureen was an avid walker whether it was outdoors or on her treadmill. Their retirement years were spent with the members and friends of the Korean War Veterans Association. Charlie is the Commander of the Nassau County Chapter and Maureen was always right by his side volunteering her time for whatever function they were planning ie; parades, parties, dinners etc. It did not matter what needed to be done, Maureen was always ready to help with a smile. Charlie and Maureen made a great team and truly enjoyed their time together. Maureen enjoyed her dinner plans with Charlie and her family at her favorite restaurants Venere and the Oak Chalet. And Maureen was always so proud of her children and grandchildren. She loved spending time with them and hearing all of their stories. She was a loving and sweet Grandma!

Maureen is survived by her husband Charles, her son Mark and his wife, Barbara; her daughter, Patricia; and her grandchildren Charles, Christian, Christopher and Ryan.
