In loving memory of Catherine Maureen Goodwin who sadly passed away on 5th August 2022.
Catherine Maureen Francis was born on the 4th July 1946 in the county borough of Salford.
Her parents were Agnes and Edward Ferguson Francis. Catherine had an older brother, Tony, and a younger brother, John. Sadly, Tony passed away on the 27th October 2021.
Although her name was Catherine Maureen; she was called Maureen.
Maureen’s Mother, Agnes, was catholic and she brought Maureen up in the catholic faith.
Maureen went to church but when she was a teenager stopped going; however, Maureen soon returned to her faith. She attended church weekly and whenever she went on holiday; Maureen’s first thing to do was to search for a church. Maureen never lost her faith and always said “once a catholic always a catholic”.
Maureen went through the eduction system and when she left school had a few jobs. Her last job, which she had for a long time was at the Manchester Ship Canal. It is here where she met her husband of forty three years, Stuart.
Maureen’s relationship with Stuart developed and they got engaged in 1977, and on the 2nd June 1979 they were married.
On the 20th March 1982, Maureen gave birth to her only child, a son called Paul.
Maureen loved gardening and over the years learned a lot from her Father, who was a Head Gardener before he retired.
After Maureen had Paul, she did not return to work at The Manchester Ship Canal. As Paul grew up, Maureen had a few part time jobs. Her last job was as a nursing auxiliary at Trafford General hospital, which she held for a number of years until she retired. Maureen worked very hard all her life.
Paul and his partner Kelly have two boys, Kieran, who is nine years old, and Oliver, who is six years old. Maureen loved her grandsons and loved giving them little treats and cuddles. She was so so proud of them.
Maureen always had a smile on her face and was liked by all who knew her. She was a lovely person and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Forever in our thoughts and always remembered.

Thank you very much for your donation in memory of my wife.
donated £20 in memory of Catherine
Sincere condolences to Stuart, Paul, Kelly, Kieran, Oliver and extended family.
All my memories from times spent with Maureen are ones to treasure. Always warm, kind, and welcoming she brought infectious energy to any social situation. Paul would often tell her that no matter where we went, she could talk to anyone.
Both Maureen and Stuart were exemplary role models to Paul and I as moral guides and encouraging not only the importance of hard work, but also how to enjoy life as well. Lessons which will be continued on through her grandchildren.
May She Rest in Peace.

James thank you for your donation in memory of Maureen and your lovely words. Maureen always spoke and thought highly of you. Maureen thought of you as part of the family because you were Paul’s best friend and always asked how you and your family were. Your memories of Maureen will always be with you.

My Auntie Maureen will always be fondly remembered by my family. She took care of me as a new born and was always there when I was growing up, taking and interest in what I was doing.
As well as a great auntie, she was an incredibly loyal sister to my dad - his rock through some tough times and could always make him chuckle.
Rest in peace Auntie Maureen. Xx

Although Maureen and I did not see each other regularly I have memories of us going to Blackpool on holiday, with my Mum Ivy and my dad Bernard, as children. Maureen was always smiling and had a very happy disposition. I know she will be sadly missed.

Aunty Maureen will always hold a special place in my heart. Maureen was a funny, caring Aunt who loved her family very much. I have many happy childhood memories playing at her house with my cousin, Paul.
In hard times Maureen was a support to us all and I will be forever grateful for the love and care she showed. Everyone that knew Maureen was blessed and we will miss her very much. Sending lots of love, John (little)
