Obituary
January 24, 1945 – October 28, 2024
Maureen Woodrow passed away peacefully at the age of 79. Born in St. John’s, Newfoundland, daughter to James Patrick Woodrow of Northern Bay and Frances Anne Keough of Calvert. The eldest of five, Maureen was a trailblazer and a passionate advocate for education, community, and sustainability throughout her life.
Her remarkable journey included representing Newfoundland at Expo 67 in the telephone pavilion, and a PhD in Sociology from Laval University in Quebec, embodying her lifelong commitment to learning and academic excellence.
Maureen was predeceased by her late husband Herbert Gideon Bown and survived by her beloved children, Colin Woodrow Marvin and Kristin Woodrow Marvin. She leaves behind her cherished grandson, Charlie Marvin, and her devoted siblings: Joe Woodrow, Janet Hogan, Jim Woodrow, and Helen Woodrow.
An intelligent, charismatic, and effervescent woman, Maureen was known for her legendary dinner parties where everyone felt welcomed and valued. Her adventurous spirit and action-oriented approach to life led her to make significant contributions across the globe. Her passionate commitment to small communities and sustainability took her from Europe to South America, but her heart found a special place in Change Islands, Newfoundland. There, alongside her late husband Herbert, she dedicated nearly two decades to fostering economic growth and sustainability in the community they called home.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at the Basilica on Friday, November 1, 2024 at 11:00am, followed by inurnment at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. For those unable to attend or who wish to attend virtually, the service will be live-streamed at: youtube.com/@brianwlake?si=jpnxVk-_uYH-731L
