A longtime resident of Barrington, RI, Maureen graduated magna cum laude from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where she was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. A week after graduation, Maureen married Frederick Siino, to whom she was devoted for the ensuing 59 years. She further dedicated her life to her six children, whom she raised with the care and attentiveness that has served as a great example for the family as it continues to grow to this day.

In addition to her place as matriarch of a growing family, Maureen was deeply committed to her Catholic faith, which she served faithfully throughout her life. She was a long-time communicant of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish in Bristol and also of Holy Angels in Barrington where she was the co-director of the religious education program. She was a dog-lover, especially Boston Terriers; was a voracious reader and crossword puzzle aficionado.
