No one gave more, loved more, cared more than Maureen. Her loss is unfathomable, incalculable, and immeasurably heartbreaking. We have been enthusiastic members of her vast fan club since we first met, down at the creek, almost 35 years ago, and will remain forever in awe of all she was and all she accomplished. We will always cherish the memory of - and sorely miss - her warm, welcoming hugs, her beautiful, happy smile, and her joyous laughter. We love this photo of Maureen and Rich, taken in 2019 at a house jazz concert in Twilight Park - one of many fun times we enjoyed together. Sending so much love and prayers for comfort and healing, Susan and Tony Forcella XXOO

Dear Maureen,
We will always remember your generosity, kindness, smile, your motherly love, and all the memories we’ve made together. You knew exactly what do, say or bring to anyone that needed some inner-peace and joy. Going for the first time to the cabin, this little piece of paradise, that you have created with Richie felt like home to us. Every time we saw you, you would bring a ray of sunshine into our life connecting us to nature and giving us a new perspective on life. We will know that you are with us, every time we watch the stars, eat french toast, visit a national park, go to the creek, collect stones…
Thank you Maureen for all the joy you have brought into our lives. We love you very much. Rest in peace.
Love,
Louis Family

Maureen’s moments from Sy’s album.
Our lives are built out of special moments. When we think of the people that are close to us, we think of precious moments we shared. So, here is three of the moment in which I see and think of Maureen.
The first special moment was the first time I saw her. It was in one of the Parents’ Day, the first year of Ruthie at the Academy. Maureen walked the corridors as if she owned the place, energetic, confident, talking to everyone in her way. But she was not a matron who control school. She was a beautiful lady, her blond hair had unusual small curls, giving her an aura of an innocence little girl. Like the curls I see sometimes on her grand-daughter Tali when she unties her braids. I did not know whose mother she was. I did not know Richie at that time. But I was very happy to see her there at the school, knowing she was part of our team.
The second special moment was our first dinner together after Ruthie and Richie announced their engagement. She and big Richie were shooting adventure stories from their life and cabin. Maureen sat close to me, and her stories kept on bubbling with excitement, her animation pronounced, her blue eyes widened when she reached special point or a punch line. I sat mesmerized by the way she told the stories. I did not remember all the details, but one thing came out clearly, her love for the cabin, the woods, and the streams.
The third special moment was totally different, almost out of character. It was in one of our hikes together up the mountains on of the trails she loved. She wanted to introduce us to the upstate sceneries. We took off from the cabin, so we were quite a large group, chatting and laughing along the way. As we reached the peak, we stopped to figure out our next steps, Maureen quietly, moved away from the group and walked all the way to the edge of the cliff. She stood there looking at the distance almost meditating. I approached her and we stood there quietly. “Look at this beauty below,” she said, “it is almost like flying.” Then after a moment she said, “one day I might come flying with you.” “Anytime,” I said. She did not respond; she was absorbed in the view. She stood there for a long moment until she was called to join the group, and her demeanor changed back into exciting and supporting host.

Dearest Maureen,
My first memory of you was watching this beautiful, elegant woman rushing through the academy's corridors fully energized with plans to turn the students’ life even more exciting, interesting, and fun. Little did I know that we were soon to follow the growing love and friendship between our kids later we felt so blessed to unite our families together.
This morning, Sy and I were climbing mount Hollywood, we remembered how much we've enjoyed similar hike with you and big Rich. We shared love for nature, art, and above all family.
Last Saturday we were watching TV with Richie Tali and Kaia. We were covered with your gorgeous quilts, another reminder that your love is around us always and will stay our inspiration always.
Love,
Etti.

Dear Maureen,
Deep sorrow filled my heart when I heard you had gained your angel wings. Yet my memories of you are so joyous and full of love. I only met you and Richie on a handful of occasions as I live abroad but you were - you are - part of my family. I will forever remember your sense of compassion, warmth and generosity, your wonderful smile and your love for children and family.
Dear Richie and family,
I am sending you my love and healing thoughts, I pray your pain and sorrow be lightened by the love we all share for Maureen and your family.

Maureen was an amazing and strong woman who was a center of connection for not just her family, but countless others as well. Her tenacity and love of life was evident in everything she did. Her warmth and welcoming energy was a magnet that drew many families and friends together, whether on a trip in nature, or around a full dinner table, or simply sharing a hilarious story. She was a builder and a creator, a nurturer and a friend. She gave so much of herself to everyone she loved. Maureen will be missed dearly in this world, but her spirit is alive and well and lives on brightly in the family she raised, the beautiful homes she kept, the friends she cared for, the recipes she shared, the quilts and clothes she made, and a million other treasured memories. We are so grateful to have been part of her circle of light, and we will carry that light on for generations to come.
We love you, Maureen, and we love the whole Devletian family.
-David, Aviva, & Noa

Maureen, I am so sad about your sudden departure but I am glad that I had the chance to meet and know you. Even if we were living far away, we had the chance to create a beautiful friendship. You and your family are in my thoughts. I lit a candle for you at Notre Dame de Fourviere in Lyon.

Dear Maureen and the Devletians are such a part of my history, part of my heart. We all grew up together, and spent countless family holidays, weddings, dinners, and celebrations together. We all remained close, despite distance, and we stayed in touch regularly. She will be missed by my husband, Dominik, and children, Alex and Emma as well. Maureen was, and always will be, a strong, funny, loving, firece, cheerful, powerful, and sassy lady....she will be with me forever.

Our Maureen will be in our hearts and minds forever. She was enormously talented and creative and had the energy of ten people! Our most joyful memories are of the many hours we shared as the children were growing up. When Tante Mary was still alive, the dinners we shared were happy, very noisy, and full of love. We were a large and close family, and when we were all together, there was always lots of laughter, music, jokes and conversation in abundance. Now the children and grandchildren are scattered across the country, but our bonds to each other ….and our love for each other…..have not diminished. Maureen set the standard for family caring about family! Her children and grandchildren are carrying on her legacy of love and commitment to each other. She has had a profound influence on all of us, and we are forever grateful to have had her in our lives. She was, is, and will be forever loved.
When Maureen asked Joe to “give her away” at her wedding to Richie, he felt honored and blessed to be such an important part of her special day. And..,,4 year old Shana was the flower girl!; it should be no surprise that Maureen made Shana’s dress and hat for the wedding!
We have so many wonderful memories; we are blessed that she walked among us.
Lorraine & Joe
