Loudonville- Maureen Diane DiNuzzo (Delehanty) died at her home in Loudonville on August 17, 2015 at the age 73, after a courageous decade-long battle with ovarian cancer. She is survived by her husband of 41 years John; her son Paul, his wife Kimberly, and their children Alexia, Corinne, and Tyler; her son Louis, his wife Elizabeth, and their daughter Daphne; her daughter Alicia; her brother Edward Delehanty, Jr. and his wife Michele, and their children Bryan (Natasha) and Craig (Cori); her sister Jeanne Sullivan and her husband Michael; her brother-in-law John Cox and his son John, Jr.; her dear friends Mary Dooley, Paula Fitzpatrick, and Barbara Norton; and many more beloved relatives, neighbors and friends. She is preceded in death by her parents Helen and Edward Delehanty, Sr.; parents-in-law Edith and Louis DiNuzzo; and her sister-in-law Rita Cox. Maureen was born in Albany on March 12, 1942. She was an alumna of Vincentian Institute, and a devoted member of the St. Pius X congregation. She worked for New York State’s Department of Environmental Conservation and the State Police Forensics Lab before retiring in 2004. She took great pride in her Irish heritage and enjoyed attending the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade to honor her culture and family. She was an aficionada of opera, a devotee of Frank Sinatra, and an avid fan of professional soccer. She was an accomplished cook, and she was very proud of her typing and proofreading skills. But her greatest joy in life was raising her family. She created a loving home full of happy laughter, cherished pets, hearty meals, and memorable holidays. She encouraged her children to be true to themselves and better their lives through education, self-care and family. They remember her as strong and resilient, selfless and kind.
