A woman whose love of life and people is commensurate with
her great energy to campaign for the vulnerable, Maureen’s typical working
day might include a 5 am start with a group from the Council to visit
Westminster with a petition, and finish in the Bingo Hall tucking her mayoral
chains under her seat, so they don’t get in the way!
Maureen has run the Tenby Animal Rescue Centre from her home
for over twenty years – a charity she started when she gave up her nursing
career to spend more time with her children.
Seemingly
every person and animal in Tenby rejoices in knowing Maureen and you need to be
a migrating bird or foreign tourist for her not to have an in-depth update on
current and historical issues affecting all human and animal residents. Maureen
is as likely to be contacted for advice on issues as variable as rescuing
gannets from an oil slick, or how to cheer up a lovesick Vietnamese Pot Bellied
Pig, to getting another ambulance for the town.
The terrible tragedy of sudden death from cardiomyopathy of
her beloved son, Caradoc, one of the great young characters of Tenby and a man
loved by all who knew him has fuelled her determination to help CRY in our
campaign for emphasising the importance of cardiac screening facilities for
young people. Maureen’s rich humour, deep compassion and prevailing sense of
justice for those in need, are an inspiration to all who know her. We are lucky
indeed to have such a potent crusader for our goals on our CRY team.
If you would like to contact one of our
Representatives or a Bereavement Supporter please call the CRY office at 01737 363222 or e-mail cry@c-r-y.org.uk
and we will put you in touch with someone who may be able to help
you.
