Obituary

Maureen Joyce Spinat (Courtemanche), 65, of Yorba Linda California passed away suddenly on December 7, 2012 of cardiac arrest after a long battle with diabetes.

Generous and loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend she was born in Nashua, New Hampshire on August 17, 1947. Maureen was one of seven children. She relocated to California in 1967, eventually settling in Orange County where she met and married her best friend and life love Mark Spinat. This past summer they celebrated 34 years of marriage.

During her life she enjoyed family camping, as well as extended trips to New Hampshire to visit her mother and siblings and many nieces and nephews. The past five years she was able to visit Hawaii where many treasured memories were created with her husband and her children and grandchildren.

Maureen was an accomplished homemaker and doting mother and grandmother, creating a warm, beautiful place for family and friends to gather and enjoy her delicious cooking and much laughter.

Maureen was predeceased by her father Maurice Courtemanche and survived by her mother Rita Martin, loving husband Mark Spinat, her children Mark Turgeon and Michelle McFarlane. She also has four grandchildren, Aaron, Andrew, Zoe, and Riley. She is also survived by all her siblings, Donald, Daniel, Darryl and Douglas Courtemanche of Nashua and Dennis Courtemanche and Linda (Courtemanche) Mahoney of Florida and many relatives here and in New Hampshire.

A funeral service honoring her life will be held at O’Connor’s Mortuary in Laguna Hills, CA on December 16, 2012 at 10:00am followed by a graveside service at El Toro Memorial Park in Lake Forest, CA.

    A wonderful light in our world is gone from us. Thanks Maureen for all the love, laughs, great food and good times. Mark my thoughts and prayers are with you!

    Paul in his letter to the church in Thessalonica reminds us however, for believers this is just part of the journey. My brother may the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ embrace you.

    1 Thessalonian 4: 13-…18

    Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.

    For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

    After that. we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words.

    Maureen I look forward to our next hug.

  4. My Sister – my Angel on earth. Thank you for being so wonderful. Until we’re together again in our Father’s house, I will miss your laughter, you’re smile and us joking around on the phone. I love you.
