Dear Bert, Paddy, Jeannie, Kate and families thanks for sharing your beautiful mother with us.
Maurs welcomed us into your home as if we were family. We all have such fond memories of sitting around the kitchen table, sipping on bubbles, non stop laughing and of course ‘ hanging it on Paddy ‘. Sleep overs at Shirley Grove were simply the best.
Love from the Ararat crew Donna, Robyn and Rose.
Auntie Maureen will always have a special place in my heart . Love and thoughts to you uncle Paddy and family .

October 25, 2025What a privilege to have grown up next to Maurs.
Growing up beside the Kavanaghs kept you on your toes, but one thing’s for sure, they always knew how to have a good time.
Maurs was the heartbeat of Shirley Grove. She had a laugh that carried down the street, a warmth that made everyone feel welcome, and a way of turning even the most ordinary Sunday into something special.
As a kid, I never quite understood how the Sunday barbecues went on for hours. As an adult, I realised it was all that time for champagne, stories, and “playing ladies.” That was Maurs, she brought people together, made you feel part of something, and always found a reason to celebrate.
Thank you, Maurs, for the hedgehog, the endless laughter, and for showing us how to live life with joy and friendship. Thanks for encouraging me to continually tease Paddy.
Sending love and condolences to the Kavanagh family as we raise a glass to the Mayoress of Shirley Grove, a true original, deeply loved, and never forgotten

October 25, 2025My thoughts are with you all at this sad time, especially Kate, Greg, Molly, Charlie and extended family. Maursy will be sadly missed but all the wonderful memories of my times with her and the family will be forever with me. There was never a dull moment, always fun and laughter at various family gatherings and she would welcome you with open hands and the biggest ❤️. Will miss you Maursy. All my love Sharon W
October 25, 2025Maursie- a true matriarch, generous with her kindness and her wisdom. Endless stories shared with every sip of bubbles.
I was fortunate to be welcome at any social gathering. Family birthdays, Saturday afternoon around the kitchen table or just a quick pop-in, Maursie always made me feel appreciated and cared for. Maybe she loved me a little bit and that’s why I love her a lot.
My heart is heavy and especially for Paddy, Patrick, Kate, Jeannie, Bert and families. With much love and gratitude to you all. Jo XO
