Maureen Mazurkiewicz

Maureen Mazurkiewicz (Clohessey) of Allenstown, NH, (formerly of Hampton, NH) went to meet her Lord on April 7, 2024. She died peacefully in Concord, NH surrounded by her family.

Maureen was born in Brooklyn, New York on January 13 of 1946, to Irish immigrant parents James and Mary (Breheney) Clohessey. She completed high school in 1963 and worked for the insurance brokerage firm of Johnson & Higgins on Wall Street in NYC. Maureen married her husband Steve in 1969. Together they had three children Jennifer, David, and Matthew. The family moved to Manchester, NH in 1976. There she took care of her growing family, and when the children were attending school she became a real estate broker and worked for the Coldwell Banker Agency in Manchester. The family moved later to Hampton, NH in 1989 to manage a hotel on Hampton Beach. In the off-season, she was an assistant teacher for a Montessori school in Hampton. Later, Maureen became Innkeeper for Lamie’s Inn in Hampton, NH until her retirement. Maureen and her husband moved, in 2023, to Hillsbrook Village Assisted Living in Allenstown, NH.

Besides managing an active family life and hotels, Maureen was very engaged as a parishioner of St. Michael Church in Exeter, NH and Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Church in Hampton, NH. She also participated in RCIA, Healing Prayer Ministry, and Charismatic Prayer group at St. Michael in Exeter for many years. She took her faith and her relationship with the Lord very seriously. When she was able, she was a daily communicant in St. Michael Church and later in Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Church. Her lasting legacy is one of kindness and compassion for people, reflected in the way she cared for family, treated her coworkers at the Inn and prayed with people in need, including those she met along the way.
