Somers, Maureen P. 84 (nee Walsh) passed away peacefully on August 7, 2020 after a long illness. The oldest of six children, Maureen was born in Atlantic City, NJ to James P. Walsh and Mildred Helen (Bebop) Walsh (Leeds). She married the love of her life, a handsome sailor from Maine, David E. Somers. Together, Dave and Maureen built a beautiful life full of love and memories. What a great cook she was, serving fabulous meals at our family gatherings. Maureen loved Christmas and spread that joy to her family and grandchildren. Her Christmas stockings filled with treasures and surprises for the grandchildren were most memorable. Maureen also enjoyed volunteering at Villa Raffaella in Pleasantville and her monthly lunch with her high school friends.
Her father and mother, sister Eileen Maury and brother James Walsh, predecease Maureen. She is survived by her husband of 64 years David, her four children, David Jr. (Carol), James (Maryann), Kathleen Voss (favorite), and Carol Tidwell (Brian), her six grandchildren; David III (Janine), Jacqueline Somers, Carly O’Hagan (Michael), Chelsea Voss (Tyler Merker), Nicolette Somers and Lauren Somers. Maureen had the pleasure of welcoming three great grandchildren, Kensley Somers, Everett Somers and Asher O’Hagan. Maureen was close to her sisters, Catherine Meighan, Helen France (Craig), Theresa Sprouse (Bill), sisters-in-law Sabina Walsh and Marge Maury, along with many nieces and nephews. Maureen loved her extended family in Maine and Connecticut too. Special thanks to Mom’s loving caregiver, Sonnie, who our mother adored.
