So sad at the early loss of such a vibrant, fun and capable colleague. I first remember Maureen for her brilliant management of a millennium cohort of rookie teenage tennis players (my son amongst them) training them to be responsible and committed line-judges who in turn held lasting respect and affection for their mentor. In recent years I have been the beneficiary of that same impressive tennis experience, direct common sense and empathy sitting alongside Maureen on the Coach Licensing & Registration Committee. We will miss her personality and contribution but remember her with great appreciation and fondness.

Maureen and I both started working at Wimbledon in the early 1970's. We supported each other then as "rookies" and over 40 years later Maureen supported me as my "buddy" when I joined the LTA Council. We were also together on the 1987 Men's Singles Final. Maureen as the first woman to work on a line in a men's final and me in the Umpire's chair. Great to look around the court at the change of ends and see Maureen's supportive, smiling face! As we approach Wimbledon 2021 it's so hard to believe that Maureen will not be there with us. I will greatly miss her friendship, expertise, commitment and especially her smile.
