What an example Maureen was of a big sister, kind generous, funny and patience personified. She bore her discomforts with a smile, never complained, and truly and openly expressed her faith in God. Farewell honorable elder and remarkable big sister until we all meet again. CC

Sending all of our love to the Bonham cousins and McMullan descendants. So lucky to have visited Maureen again last year as her visits to Ireland were always such happy ones. Such a sweet lady. I hope she is at peace with Bill and the rest of the family now.

Love from Annette (Mahony) and all the family.

I remember when all the McMullan sisters would gather in Kildalkey when Maureen would visit and talk for hours, start a singsong, have a cup of tea and a nibble and start talking more. They were good days.
Deepest condolences and love to all the cousins. RIP Aunty Maureen. XX

Mary McMullan and your Portaferry family and relatives.

Deepest sympathy to all our late Uncle Nicky McMullan's family connection at home and abroad on the passing of Nicky's eldest daughter Maureen in New Zealand. Thinking especially of her sister Cecilia. All of us from Nickys late brother Phil's family in Portaferry are thinking of you. We also extend our sympathy and kind thoughts to the Bonham family in New Zealand. May Maureen rest in peace.
