On Bank Holiday Monday, Fr Kevin celebrated a farewell
Mass for popular personality Maureen Hancock who is going
back to her homeland in Ireland.
Shortly after she had gained a degree in Biology Maureen
came over to England about 1940 where she taught at
Gravesend, then Cardiff and eventually Stoke-on-Trent.
This was where she met Hank. The couple got
married in Reading in 1946 and moved to Wexham Road,
Slough
They had twin daughters Mary and Pauline and later a
few years later another daughter Madelaine.
In 1956 they moved to a house in London Road, Langley.
Maureen worked at
St. Bernards Convent, then St. Ethelberts Annex, and then
St. Josephs. In 1961 she went back to St. Bernards and
worked in The Prep until she retired.
Maureen
and Hank were at the opening of the Holy Family Church in
1957.
