Longtime Caldwell teacher Maureen Roehr passed away Feb. 16, 2005, at the home of her daughter, Julie Hogg, in Caldwell. Maureen Brown Roehr was born April 20, 1923, to William Wallace and Libbie Dustin Brown in Liberty, Idaho. She graduated with a degree in Social Work from Utah State University in 1945. Maureen was a Psychiatric Nurse with the Red Cross during World War II, stationed in Seattle. She then took a position as a Social Worker in Phoenix, Ariz., moving to Caldwell about 1949 where she lived the remainder of her life. In 1965 she started a career as a fifth grade teacher with the Caldwell School District which spanned more than 20 years.
She was a stalwart member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served her local ward for many years as a Gospel Doctrine teacher.
She was preceded in death by her parents and older sister, Bernice Brown Ostvig.
She is survived by her brother, Wilmer Brown of Liberty; her daughters, Julie (John) Hogg of Caldwell, Calli (Calvin) Smith of Reno, Nev., and Gerri (Dwight) Coombs of Boise; grandchildren, Carrie, Amie, Deric, Emiline, Kristiana, John, Hannah, Lucia, Morgan, Sarah, Butch, Peter, Rosie, Brandon, Kevin, Megan, Daniel, Maille, and Connor; and great-grandchildren, Samuel, Sariah, Molly Ann and Lydia who were all the light of her life.
Her self-penned obituary was "I lived my life and enjoyed it!"
