Obituary for Maureen L. McCarthy (Mahoney)
Maureen L. McCarthy, of West Hartford, formerly of Boston and Scituate, MA died September 12, 2016. Maureen was born in Boston, daughter of the late Roland and Eleanor (Greaney) Mahoney. She was a graduate of Boston Teachers College, and taught kindergarten in Boston and Scituate. Once they moved to Connecticut, she was asked to create the first kindergarten curriculum for the School of St. Brigid, West Hartford where she taught for 15 years and retired as the school librarian.
She was a voracious reader that loved the The Red Sox, The Patriots and most important was the time spent in Scituate with family and walking Minot beach with Bob. She never missed a summer in Scituate and loved the annual cross country drives with Bob to San Diego every winter.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 59 years, Robert N. McCarthy and their two children, a son Peter G. McCarthy and his wife Linda of Shelter Island, NY; and daughter, Maura L. McCarthy and her husband Michael Rifkin of Frisco, CO; and the two joys of her life, granddaughters, Morgan and Kenna. She is also survived by two brothers Rev. Thomas F. Mahoney of San Diego, and Michael Mahoney and his wife Sarah of McClean, VA. She was predeceased by three brothers Mark, Roland Jr., John J. Mahoney, Esquire.
