Maureen Claire Brown (nee Tucker) passed away peacefully,
surrounded by her family, on February 26, 2024. She was born on February 22, 1938, and raised in Ste Rose du Lac, Manitoba. Maureen is predeceased by her husband, Gordon, and siblings, Joey and Ella. She is survived by her sisters, Janice and Phyllis.
Maureen and Gord were married on September 15, 1962. During their 60 years
together, they created a wonderful life. Maureen was an amazing Mom to their four
children – Trevor (Deanna), Leslie (Dan), Darrin (Lisa), and Carleen (Dean) and a
fun-loving Nana to their 12 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Maureen was an eager host and loved to have her family and friends gathered, eating, laughing and playing games. She was a competitive partner in golf, bridge and many games always trying to recruit new partners or opponents right up until her last days.
Maureen led a vibrant lifestyle with a wide social circle including people from Edmonton’s Derrick Golf & Winter Club, Edmonton Bridge Centre, Duggan Senior Bridge Club and Waterstone Condos.
Mom was always up for a new adventure. From family camping and ski trips, to travelling the globe with Dad and later with her daughters, and hosting her family in Palm Springs. Nana always took a keen interest in her grandchildren’s lives by spending time building gingerbread houses, having sleepovers and driver training lessons. She was always
creating family traditions and making memories in spades.
The family would like to thank the staff at the UofA Hospital for their care. There will be a Celebration of Life for both Maureen and Gordon Brown in the spring. In place of
flowers, donations are welcome at the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
Dear Leslie, Trevor, Darrin and Carleen
I was so sad to read of Maureen’s death. I enjoyed many golf games with her at the Derrick, and appreciated her great smile. Although I had not seen her since Covid I enjoyed news of her activities from mutual friends. She and Gord were great partners.
Please accept my Sincere Sympathy in your loss of a great Mother.

My deepest condolences to the family. I knew Maureen and Gordon from the Edmonton Bridge Centre. They were the most gentle, caring and pleasant couple of all those I encountered in my life. Their love and devotion to each other was touching. I hope they are now together.
Thinking of you all at this difficult . We have very fond memories of both Maureen and Gord and will remember our happy times playing golf with both of them!
Dave and I are saddened to learn of Maureen’s passing. We knew her and Gord through playing bridge with them at the Edmonton Bridge Centre and the South Side Duplicate Bridge Club. She was always so vibrant, so positive, so sociable, and a pleasure to be with. We will miss her.
