Maureen was born in Helena, MT on January 30, 1935, daughter of Eileen (Dolan) and Kenneth Schmidt. She grew up in the Sixth Ward with her mother Eileen, brother Gary and all the Dolan family. She lived in the same house for 76 years.
Maureen graduated from Cathedral High School in 1954 and then went on to work for the Montana Department of Revenue until she retired in 1992. She enjoyed bowling, ice skating, baking and taking her nephews and niece to the Parrot Confectionary.
Maureen was a dedicated member of Saint Mary’s Catholic Church, attending Sunday, weekdays and Friday’s rotation masses with her good friend Barbara Bison or her stepsister Rita Cross. When not at church you could probably find her playing keno, trying to hit a big payout!
Maureen was presided in death by her mother Eileen, stepfather Howard Schneckloth and her brother Gary.
She is survived by her nephews Brad, wife Debbie; Doug, wife Laurel; Scot, wife Pattie; and niece Rebecca Fitzpatrick, husband Tim; sister-in-law Beverly Schmidt; stepsister Rita Cross; stepbrothers Frank Schneckloth and Todd Schneckloth, wife Linda. She is also survived by many great nieces, nephews and cousins.
A Catholic Graveside Committal will be held at the Resurrection Cemetery on Thursday December 10, 2020 at 1:30 p.m.
A remembrance of Maureen may be made to Saint Marys Catholic Church.

Saddened to read this news. Worked with Mo for most of my 30 years, with the State and also bowled with her. She was a dear friend and we shared many laughs together. I have many fond memories in my heart. Rest now and be at peace… ‘God Bless’
Carol Utick says
So very sad to hear about this. I knew Mo for many years as she was such a fun and wonderful customer at the Red Garter. I have great memories of her that I will keep forever. May she rest in peace and “God Bless”.

Mo was such a special person. She played Keno with me for 10 years. I have thought of her often and will never forget what a special angel she is and am. God Bless.
Shirley Herrin says
I grew up just a few blocks away from Mo down in the Sixth Ward. My family has been there for 68 years so I have known Mo most of her life. She was a very special sweet lady and I loved to visit with her whenever we had the chance.

My prayers are with each of Maureen’s family members and friends. And my prayers of gratitude for the privilege of knowing Maureen over these many years, since we were at Cathedral High together. For several months, recently, I was graced with a bit of communication with Maureen–through a loving lady, Julie, who would text me for Maureen and relay my greetings to her! We also connected during our class reunions–50 and 60 year! She was so faith-full–to her God whom she knew well, to her parish, and to friends and family. We know, Maureen, that YOU now know your loving God face-to-face and we ask you to continue to pray with us…

Our family lived in the 6th ward and our children attended Bryant School. I did not know Maureen personally but she was always so friendly and always had a smile!!! Bless her family Jill Cook
