It’s time for 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks. This week the prompt is “Gone Too Soon”. That brings to mind my cousin Maureen.
 |
Maureen Elizabeth Malloy was born April 27, 1950 in Evergreen Park, Illinois. She was the second child of Clarence Malloy and Ruth Petrini. Maureen shared her middle name with her mother.
Maureen was a happy baby. She had sparkly eyes and dark curly hair. She brought joy to her parents, her grandparents, and her aunts. Sadly, just before her first birthday, Maureen became ill with what was probably a common cold. Within days Maureen was hospitalized with pneumonia. Sadly, Maureen passed away the day after her first birthday.
Maureen had an older sister at the time of her death. She had three additional siblings as well as many cousins. None of us ever got to meet Maureen because she was ‘gone too soon’.
