QUINN (NEE MCCABE), Maureen Anne

Quinn, Maureen Anne (nee McCabe)

July 24, 1925 – February 14, 2025

Longtime resident of Richmond, Maureen Quinn passed away peacefully surrounded by family at the Wales Home on Friday, February 14, 2025.  Maureen was born and raised in Richmond, Quebec, the only daughter and third child of Dr A.W. McCabe and Mabel (Galvin) McCabe.  Family meant everything to her starting with her parents and brothers (Wally and Dennis), and continuing with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

She will always be loved and missed by children Cathi (Pat) Smith, Mike (Joe-Anne D’Avignon) Quinn, Mary (George) Grant and Dennis (Jane) Quinn.  Cherished “Nannie” to Michael (Sara) and Pierre (Amy) Quinn, Jessa (Chris) Rasko, Katie (Eghan) Rashidi and Laura (David) Grant, Ben and Emilie Quinn.  Proud great-grandmother to Parker and Elliot Rasko and Keyon Rashidi.  Maureen was part of the Richmond community for close to 100 years and she often shared fond memories of her youthful days with life-long friends and family.  Maureen worked briefly in Montreal before returning to work in the Bank of Montreal in Richmond.  Maureen married the love of her life Reynold Quinn in Richmond in 1952 where they settled and welcomed four children.  Maureen was a woman of deep faith, resilience, and gentle strength.  When Ren passed away in early 1960, Maureen took on the running of the Richmond TV Cable business while raising their children.   She was a devoted mother and her children are grateful for her endless love and guidance.  Maureen eventually returned to the workforce, retiring from Richmond Regional High School after thirteen years as Green House secretary.  Maureen was always involved with church and community and volunteered in several capacities throughout the years.  She always chose to look at the good in people, and enriched our lives with her kindness, caring spirit and positive approach to life.

The family would like to thank all her caregivers and the community at the Wales Home for their compassionate support for mom during the past seven years.

Visitation will take place on Monday, February 24, 2025 from 6:00 PM- 8:00 PM at Cass Funeral Home in Richmond, 295 rue Principale Sud.  A funeral service will be celebrated at Ste. Bibiane Church in Richmond, 970 rue Principale Nord at 2:00 PM on Tuesday, February 25, 2025.  A reception will follow at Centre d’art de Richmond, 1010 rue Principale Nord.

If friends so desire, in lieu of flowers memorial tributes in Maureen’s honour may be made to a charity of their choice.

My sincere condolences Dennis, Cathi, Mike, Mary and families. I was just thinking about your mum and what a truly special person she was. I have fond memories of her visits with Anna and my visit with her at that beautiful house in Richmond. I imagine her reconnecting with those who have gone before and learning the ropes as she settles into her new role as your devoted intercessor before the throne of our almighty, all merciful God.

My thoughts and prayers to the Quinn family. I was not lucky enough to have met Maureen, but I am lucky enough to see her in the hearts of her children and grandchildren children. Wishing I could be there but I’m with you all in spirit. Sending you all my live and prayers.
