Maureen was born in Detroit, Michigan on June 14, 1952, daughter of the late Maurice and Sophie (Rosenthal) VanHevel. She made her home in Eastpointe and was blessed with a wonderful son, Roger, who she loved and cherished. Maureen loved flowers and was a master gardener. She was an avid reader who enjoyed games and puzzles. Her son's happiness was always important to her and she loved spending time with her grandchildren. We will always remember Maureen as a kind, thoughtful woman who always had a beautiful smile and a kindred spirit. She will be deeply missed and her light will continue to glow in our hearts forever.
