Maureen Helen Theisen

Maureen was born January 11, 1938 in Missoula, Montana. The oldest child of Leo Elmer Nash and Helen Edna (Courtney) Nash, she grew up in Montana with her sister and three brothers. At the age of 18, she moved to Colorado to take a job in Denver. She met her future husband, Richard, at the boarding house where they both lived. Maureen and Richard married on September 6, 1958, and together had nine children. Maureen was a homemaker, and in her spare time, the office manager for the family roofing business. In 1981, they moved from Denver to Longmont, where Maureen lived for most of the remainder of her life. She was a member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Longmont.

Quick with a smile and a tender embrace, she raised her children to always know that she loved them. She had a keen wit, the heart and hands of an artist, and the mind of a poet.

She is survived by her husband, Richard Anton Theisen of Longmont; her children, Theresa Marie Greene of Broomfield, Colorado, Stephen James Theisen of Loveland, Colorado, Dolores Helen Lloyd of Greensboro, North Carolina, Kathleen Susan Theisen of Broomfield, Colorado, Judith Anne Bandstra of Florissant, Colorado, Paul Joseph Theisen of Orange, Massachusetts, David Kenneth Theisen of Frederick, Colorado, Lee Anthony Theisen of West Alexandria, Ohio, and Nancy Elizabeth Kirby of Lafayette, Colorado; her sister, Nancy Hutcheon of Cumming, Georgia; and her brother, Steve Nash of Spokane, Washington.

She is also survived by her thirteen grandchildren, Emily Myer (Theisen), Miranda Theisen, Nickolas Lloyd, Joshua Bandstra, Grace Theisen, Kelsey Theisen, Robyn O'Toole (Theisen), Sara Theisen, Andrea Steenburgh (Theisen), Alysha Theisen, Christopher Theisen, Madison Theisen, Isla Kirby, and her six great grandchildren Joanna Lloyd, Emerson Lloyd, Caden Myer, Luca Myer, Ellie Steenburgh, and Aaron O'Toole.

Maureen was preceded in death by her parents and her brothers, Mike and Dick Nash.

She was loved by many and will be missed by all. Her memory will be a blessing to those who knew her.

A funeral service will be held Friday June 19th, at 11:00 AM at St. Theresa Catholic Church in Frederick Colorado. There will be a rosary before at 10:30 AM and a reception to follow until 1:00 PM.
