Maureen Chown (Maloney)
January 4, 2017 By Egan Funeral Home Leave A Condolence
Peacefully at Brampton Civic Hospital, Brampton, on Tuesday, January 3, 2017, Maureen Chown (Maloney), of Woodbridge, in her 85th year, beloved wife of Gordon Chown. Loving mother of Larry and his wife Elaine, Pat and his wife Elizabeth, Richard, Mary Ellen and her life partner Jim Blake, Chris and his life partner Tia Menich. Cherished Nanny of Alicia and her husband Kevin, David, Kristin and her husband Ryan, Mark and his wife Rachelle, Christopher, Emily and her husband Matt, Patrick and his fiancée Mariah, and Ryan. Proud Great-Nanny of Toby, Anna, and Clara. Beloved sister of Margaret, Larry, and Katy (deceased). Maureen was born November 3rd, 1932, in Toronto, and maintained a strong faith with the Roman Catholic Church, and was a member for more than 50 years with Catholic Women’s League. Maureen was a very creative soul, with a passion for fashion, sewing, and art. She would never be seen without a project in progress, whether it be needlepoint or quilt, and was a lifelong member of The Canadian Quilt Guild. Maureen never missed the annual Quilt Canada Conferences, and travelled across Canada to participate. Maureen also pursued her interest in history and urban planning. When her children were in high school, she attended Humber College, and landed a career with Region of Peel Planning, where she worked for several years. Maureen was a giver, and always put others first. She attended nursing in 1953 at St. Michael’s, but a young handsome man from Weston named Gordon swept her off her feet. In September 1954 Maureen and Gordon married. They settled in Toronto Gore and raised a family of five children. After 27 years, they relocated to Woodbridge. Maureen brought joy to every life she touched. Her warm smile, caring nature, unwavering love for her family, sense of humour and laughter will be remembered by all who knew her. Maureen, you are loved and we miss you.
