To Bob and all the Carney family my deepest sympathy! Maureen was a great work colleague and friend at Natick High and beyond. Some memorable golfing escapades and her famous Mystery rides and Christmas cookie swaps! She always told it like it is! RIP

Maureen was far and away the best Department Head that I ever worked for, in over 30 years. She really cared for her "People". Our department meetings were always enjoyable, productive and fun.
Thank you, Maureen for all those happy, productive years.

Maureen: Such a fantastic person. She brought me in as a new teacher at Natick High School. We always had a laugh and got a lot done. She certainly did things her way, but the kids and adults all loved her for it! Maureen you will be missed, you made the world a better place. She spoke so much about the family and grandkids. I will miss my messages and talks with her each year at June and Christmas. Thank you Maureen.
