Maureen Patricia Flynn (née Sheahan), 75, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, on March 16, 2026, after a brief but courageous battle with cancer.

Born and raised in Valley Stream, New York, Maureen graduated from Valley Stream South High School before attending secretarial school. In 1972 she married the love of her life, Daniel Flynn, beginning a marriage that spanned 53 years. Maureen worked in administration at Belmont Racetrack in Elmont, New York, for nearly 20 years before retiring. In 2004, she and Daniel relocated full-time to their beloved vacation home in Newbury, Vermont, a place that brought them great happiness and peace.

Maureen found joy in life's simple pleasures. She loved visiting her daughters and being with her beloved grandchildren; spending time with her cherished friends, taking long walks, and crafting-she especially loved making fresh wreaths at Christmas time and giving them as gifts before the holidays. She had a gift for making people feel welcomed and valued.

Maureen was gracious, patient, funny, and the kindest person anyone could hope to meet.

Above all, Maureen was devoted to her family. Her love, warmth, and gentle spirit touched everyone who knew her. She will be so deeply missed and forever remembered by her family, her friends, and by those whose lives were made brighter by her presence.

Maureen is survived by her husband Daniel Flynn, daughters Stacey Flynn Pinelli and Erin Dwyer, her son-in-law Michael Pinelli, her brother John Roger Sheahan, grandson Robert Dwyer, and granddaughter Sage Dwyer.

She is predeceased by her parents John and Patricia Sheahan (née Hamilton), sister Patricia Dawn Adamec, and her brothers Mark Sheahan and Michael Sheahan.

Maureen's memory will live on in the hearts of all those who loved her. Her kindness, laughter, and unwavering love for her family and friends will never be forgotten.

There will be a Memorial Service for Maureen at Hale Funeral Home on Saturday, June 20th at 2 PM.

Arrangements are in the care of Hale Funeral Home, 187 Upper Plain in Bradford, VT.
