She spent the majority of her professional career as a paralegal. As a paralegal, she knew the importance of standing firm and holding her own; however, she was loving and caring to the people who meant the most to her. Maureen had a soft spot for her family, especially for her granddaughter, Ally, who was the apple of her eye. She also loved her dogs and considered them family. Maureen loved visiting beaches and lakes. She particularly loved Kennebunk Pond in Maine where she grew up and spent time with her family. Her love and dedication shone most in her marriage to her husband, Richard, of 35 years. She was considered the “brains of the operation” and they both loved each other fiercely. Maureen’s strong and loving spirit impacted many lives, and she will be missed by all who loved her. Maureen Waters is survived by her husband, Richard Waters of Nesbit, MS; her son, Matthew Harmon (Tessa and son, Joey Reeves) of Water Valley, MS; her granddaughter, Ally Harmon of Hernando, MS; her sisters, Kathleen M.
