Maureen E. Brennan of Cuba, NY known to many as Mo, Grandma, Ging Ging and Aunt Ging, passed away Sunday (Nov. 13, 2022) at Buffalo General Hospital.

Born Sept. 14, 1939, in Olean, she was the daughter of Donald and Dorothy Rafferty Brennan.

Maureen was a graduate of Olean High School. She was a hard-working woman and had worked in the housekeeping department at St. Bonaventure University for over 30 years.

In 2008, she suffered a massive stroke, which left her partially paralyzed. After her stroke, she worked even harder to learn how to walk and regain the use of one of her arms.

In recent years, Maureen lived between her son and daughter’s homes and it enabled a unique and cherished relationship with her family, especially her grandchildren. She will be remembered as a kind, generous and loveable lady.

Maureen loved traveling to Charleston and Myrtle Beach, S.C. She enjoyed playing bingo and cards, going fishing and going to the casino. Her routine of watching television shows, from the Price is Right to the Young and the Restless, will be missed.

Maureen is survived by two children, Dawn (Michael) Morris of Bolivar and Shawn (Debbie) Fowler of Cuba; six grandchildren, Luke (Kate) Campbell, Shane Campbell, Brittany Fowler, Tara (Chris Corder) Campbell, Emily Fowler and Katey Fowler; three step-grandsons, Joshua, Matthew and Kyle Morris; three great-grandchildren, Jeter, Ellis and Gabriella Campbell; one brother, Michael (Bonnie) Brennan of Florida; several nieces, nephews and cousins, including two special nieces and goddaughter, Allie Hartley and Chauncy Crowley; and a close nephew, Scott (Gretchen) Coppella.

She was predeceased by her longtime companion and soulmate, Allan Fowler Jr. of Eldred, Pa.; an infant son, Jonathan Fowler; two sisters, Patricia McGranigan and Nancy (John) Coppella; and one brother, Steven Brennan.

Friends will be received from 10 a.m. until noon Saturday (Nov. 19, 2022) at the Guenther Funeral Home, Inc., 1303 E. State St., Olean. Funeral services will begin at noon in the funeral home. Burial will be in St. Bonaventure Cemetery, Allegany.

Memorials, if desired, may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105; or to the Cattaraugus County SPCA, 2944 Route 16N, Olean.
