Maureen was born August 29, 1942 in Elk River to Clem and Leone (Batterberry) Nelles. She worked as a cook at Breezy Point Resort for 12 years and at the Radisson Hotel in St. Cloud for 10 years. Maureen lived in the St. Cloud area the last 20 plus years. She was a member of St. Mary’s Cathedral and volunteered as a cook for funeral lunches, eucharistic minister, and religious education. Maureen enjoyed cooking, baking, traveling, whiskey and wine, and spending time with her family. She was humble, committed to helping others, had a strong faith, and was proud of her Irish heritage. Most importantly, she was most proud of her family and all their accomplishments.

Maureen is survived by her children, Heather Fink of St. Cloud and Shaun (Lori) McNaughton of Rice; sisters, Katherine Whitney of Emily and Ellen Leger of Outing; grandchildren, Jermaine McNaughton, Paige McNaughton, Alexander Reiter, Julianna Thran, Finley McNaughton, Marcus (Chelsey) Lewis, Chanel Lewis (Travis Kelly), Jordan (Anne) Lewis, Isaiah Edwards (Irving Williams), Elijah Edwards (Theresa Throng), and Renell Edwards; and seven great grandchildren with three on the way. She was preceded in death by her parents; and brother, Richard Nelles.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to all the staff at Good Shepherd Lutheran Home in Sauk Rapids for all of their care for Maureen.
