Dolores Maureen Aquilino, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and

friend passed away on Monday, February 12th in Reisterstown, MD, at the age of 88. She

was a feisty and spunky lady that adored her family more than anything in the world. She

will be greatly missed each and every day.

Dolores, or "Maureen" as she was known to friends and family, was born on September

24th, 1935 in Larksville, PA. She graduated from Larksville High School and remained

in the area until the very memorable year of 1958. This was the year Maureen would go

on to marry the love of her life, Louis Aquilino of Oyster Bay, NY. This little town on

Long Island became the place her family called home for many, many years. Prior to

starting her family, Maureen worked as an Administrative Assistant for Republic

Aviation from 1958 until 1964. During this time, Maureen and Louis became icons

within the Oyster Bay community as they regularly attended community events and

supported local causes. Her presence was always known as she made it a point to make

everyone in the room feel special. She made life-long friends in Oyster Bay - the kind of

friends that make you proud and stick with you until the end. Although, as proud as she

was of the life they had been building in Oyster Bay, it wasn't complete until her only

son, Timothy Aquilino, was born in 1965. At this point, she shifted her focus to being a

full-time mom to take care of Tim as he grew up. Of all the things she achieved in life,

Tim was, and always will be, her most proud accomplishment.

When Maureen wasn't busy taking care of her son, she spent as much time as she could

doing the things she loved. Whether it was watching nearly every Yankees game on TV

(and often yelling during the games), tearing it up on the dance floor with Louis, or

regularly attending and volunteering her time as a member of St. Dominic's Roman

Catholic Church, Maureen always had a zest for life that was truly palpable. As life

moved forward, so did Maureen and her family. Her son, Tim, began his family in

Maryland, while Maureen and Louis spent a lot of time traveling between Oyster Bay,

NY and Mountain Top, PA where they purchased and renovated a beautifully quaint

mountain home. After many years of hosting friends and family in their homes, they

decided to officially retire and relocate to somewhere warm; Longs, South Carolina. Just

as they had done in New York and Pennsylvania, Maureen and Louis quickly became a

staple in their community and built new friendships around every corner. She loved her

new life in South Carolina, especially when her family came to visit - and at the end of

the day, spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren was what made

her the happiest.

Maureen was the daughter of the late William Fisher and Theresa Fisher. She was also

preceded in death by her husband, Louis Vincent Aquilino, and her 10 siblings, Charlie,

Joseph, William, Thomas, James, Jack, Mary, Helen, Theresa and Anne. She is survived

by her sister, Joan Brehm (Englewood, FL); son, Timothy Michael Aquilino (Woodbine,

MD) and her daughter-in-law, Polly Ann Aquilino (Woodbine, MD); her grandchildren,

Joshua Davis Kidwell (Portland, ME), Timothy Michael Aquilino Jr. (Woodbine, MD),

and Haley Carol Good (Taneytown, MD); her great-granddaughter, June Masi Kidwell

(Portland, ME); as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Family and friends are invited to honor Maureen at Devine Funeral Home in Oyster Bay,

NY on Monday, February 19th for visitation from 2-4 PM, immediately followed by the

service at 4-5 PM.
