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

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.
