Hamilton, Maureen Frances (Duffy)
April 22, 1923 – March 18, 2019.
Mom passed away at Perth Community Care Centre on March 18th, 2019 in Perth, Ontario supported by the love and care of her personal care worker, Ronda. Mom was born in Saint John, NB, to Evelyn Duston and Leo Duffy. Maureen and her late husband, Harold (deceased August 13, 2016), marked 65 years together, and while raising their children, resided in Yarmouth, NS, Aylmer, QC and Ottawa, ON. Maureen had an adventurous spirit and was always willing to follow her heart and her family, wherever they may have taken her. She was an avid reader and enjoyed activities such as bowling and line-dancing in her spare time. While raising her growing family of eight children, she enjoyed working as a secretary for Symmes High School in Aylmer Quebec, and the Ottawa Boys’ and Girls’ Club. She was also a proud member of the Catholic Women’s League. Upon retirement, Maureen and Harold settled into cottage life in Griffith, Ontario where they looked forward to visits from family and friends. In later years, they established themselves in Renfrew, Ontario before joining family in Perth, Ontario. Maureen was predeceased by her cherished daughter Susan Beaupre and treasured grand-daughter Crystal Hamilton. She was the loving and respected mother of Nancy (Frank) Chartrand, of Aylmer, QC, Christopher (Rose Elaine), of Dartmouth, NS, Brian (Valery), of Lacombe, AB, Maureen (Michael) Bischoff, of McDonalds Corners, Duston (Shelley), of Carleton Place, Deborah (Patrick) Foley, of Perth, and Elizabeth (James) Desrosiers of Saskatoon, SK. She was a dear mother-in-law to Rene Beaupre and the proud grandmother and great-grandmother to many grandchildren from the east to west coasts of Canada. Maureen will be remembered for her easy-going spirit as well as her patient and loving nature. Funeral and burial arrangements will be announced at a later date. A chapel prayer service will take place at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St. West, Perth on Friday, May 24, 2019 at 10:30 A.M. Interment will take place at Our Lady of the Rosary Cemetery, Griffith, Ontario. In memory of Maureen, contributions to the Perth & District Union Library – Summer Literacy Program would be appreciated.
