LACONIA ---- Maureen E. Masta, 80, passed away on Saturday, December 3, 2022, at Concord Hospital-Laconia.
Maureen was born on July 21, 1942, in Cambridge, MA, the daughter of the late Edward and Winifred (Sherman) Emerson.
Maureen worked as a medical secretary for many years. She also sang in her husband’s country music band in the Boston area before they relocated to Las Vegas to escape the cold New England winters. When her disability symptoms worsened, she moved back to NH to be close to family, moving into Sunrise Towers which allowed her to maintain her independence. Maureen always had a love for crocheting and knitting, a good game of Bingo and a slot machine. She could tell a good story, especially about living in Las Vegas. Despite her disability, she lived her life to its fullest and under her terms.
Maureen is survived by her daughters, Dianne Carr and her husband Robert, of Meredith, NH, and Teresa Dalleluche and her husband Andrew, of Mt. Alto, WV; grandchildren, Robert W. Carr and Jodi J. Evandoll and their families; nephews, Richard Emerson and William Emerson and niece Tammy Nagle, and their families; many cousins; and dear friends, Diane DuPont, Linda Morency, and her CNA Sarah Olisky, who were always there for her and for which her family is forever grateful.
In addition to her parents, Maureen was predeceased by her brothers, William C. Emerson and Richard E. Emerson, and her beloved dog, Bitzy.
A Graveside Service will be held at a later date in the spring at Glenwood Cemetery, Washington Ave, Everett, MA.
