Maureen "Buttons" Morgan passed away surrounded by her family. She is survived by her loving husband of 56 years, Barry Morgan as well as their three children and six grandchildren. Her daughter Michelle Halperin with husband Mike and their sons Sam and Eli. Her daughter Kimberly Westbrook with husband Ethan and their children Taylor and Nathanial Cole. As well as her son David Morgan with Jessica and their children Ben and Leah.

Maureen is also survived by her sister Claudia Alley-Melchior and her husband Vernon, her brother Roy Marchand and his wife Terry, and several dear nieces, nephews, and extended family, both in blood and in heart.

A longtime congregant of St. Lawrence Parish, Maureen served for many years as the head of the Human Development Committee, often volunteering in soup kitchens and wherever needed to support those in need in the Rochester Community. She later served as a Lay Eucharistic Minister.

Working in retail for many years, Maureen opened The Party Starter party store in the 1980s and opened Out and About, a transportation and assistance service in the 2010s, meeting the needs of the elderly in the Rochester area. Her clients became friends, and many found their way to Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners around her family table.

"Buttons" was a member of the Grease Paint Alley Clowns, serving on the board, and earning the Clown of the Year Bumpkin Award in 2014. She found great joy in working and playing with her Alley family and bringing smiles to young and old throughout the community.
