Maureen Allen—Maureen Allen has passed away, leaving a deep void in the lives of those who knew her. For the last 30 years, Maureen dedicated herself to caregiving and volunteering, becoming a beloved figure in her community. Her contributions were especially felt at the Merton Memory Hub, where she volunteered for six years, even as she faced her own health challenges.
Maureen’s journey with the Merton Memory Hub began through her care for an elderly gentleman named Peter, who suffered from Alzheimer’s. Her experience with him inspired her to devote her time to the center, where she made a significant impact on those struggling with dementia. Her dedication continued despite undergoing chemotherapy, the passing of her partner Glyn, and the challenges posed by the COVID-19 lockdowns and a stroke. Throughout it all, Maureen remained a pillar of strength and support for others, forming many lasting friendships at the center.
In lieu of flowers, Maureen’s family, led by Matthew Allen, has organized a fundraiser to support the Merton Memory Hub. The funds will be used to purchase items that will benefit the center, such as a bench or an awning shade for their garden. Any leftover proceeds will contribute to the cost of an onsite defibrillator, which the center is currently raising funds for. So far, the fundraiser has received £160 from five generous donors.
The community’s support and donations reflect the love and respect Maureen inspired in those around her. She will be deeply missed, but her legacy of kindness and service will live on through the lives she touched.
We are deeply saddened to learn of Maureen Allen’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.
