Nora M. Maroney

ANDOVER | Nora M. "Nonie" (Lorigan) Maroney, a resident of Andover for 33 years, died in St. Petersburg, Fla. after a long struggle with Alzheimer's Disease.

She was born in Haverhill in 1918, one of five children, to Michael Lorigan and Elizabeth Murphy Lorigan, who had immigrated to Haverhill from Ireland.

She attended St. James Grammar School and graduated from Haverhill High School in 1937.

Her husband's career in chemical engineering took the family to many different places over the years | Portsmouth, N.H., Oak Ridge, Tenn., Baltimore, Morgantown, W.V. and eventually back to the Merrimack Valley, to Andover.

She worked at Sutherland's Dept. Store for several years and then found her true vocation | she became the house keeper at St. Augustine's Church. For 25 years, she took care of the priests and of the rectory | cooking, cleaning, organizing, and looking after the priests as if they were her sons. In 1989, she was affiliated to the Order of St. Augustine, an honor which was accorded to her because of her loving service to the Augustinians for so many years.

The widow of Walter Maroney, she is survived by her three children, Judith Churchman of St. Petersburg, Fla., Mary Corman and her husband Jim of Schenectady, N.Y. and Walter Maroney and his wife Karen Rosenberg of Manchester, N.H. She was a loving and supportive grandmother to Leigh Percival of Arlington, Timothy Percival of St. Petersburg, Fla., Elizabeth Corman of Seattle, Jennifer Corman of New York, N.Y., Elias Rosenberg-Maroney of Manchester, N.H. and Ezekiel Maroney-Rosenberg of Manchester, N.H. She was truly loved by her four great-grandchildren, Allison, Jessica, Corey and Martin. She was predeceased by her brothers, Michael (Harpy), and John and her sister, Anna, and she is survived by her brother, Joseph, of Haverhill.

Our "Nonie" was gentle, kind, humorous, non-judgmental, hard working and really giving of herself. We all miss her enormously.

ARRANGEMENTS: Relatives and friends are invited to attend a memorial Mass, which will be celebrated on Saturday, Jan. 12 at 11 a.m. at St. Augustine's Church in Andover. A private interment service will be conducted at St. Patrick's Cemetery in Haverhill. Condolences may be sent to the David C. Gross Funeral Home at www.davidcgross.com. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in "Nonie's" memory to the "Nora Maroney Memorial Fund" in care of Mary Maroney Corman, 2222 Budd Terrace, Schenectady, NY 12309. This fund will be used to provide financial support for the elementary school associated with the Parish of Our Lady of Mercy in Kloof, South Africa, where Father Al Ellis is now located. For many years, "Father Al" was Nonie's pastor and friend at St. Augustine's Church and supporting his work was always very important to her.
