Maureen Eloise was born to Morse E. and Helen L. (Walerius) Johnson on May 14, 1940, in Shakopee. Maureen graduated high school with the class of 1958 in Montevideo. Maureen married her high school sweetheart, Michael J. Schaller in 1959. From their union, three children were born, Loree, Timothy and Debra. They later divorced after 17 years of marriage. Maureen took over raising their three teenagers on her own. She had many jobs to provide for her children, usually working two jobs at a time. Maureen worked for The Lavendar Inn, CJ’s, Faribault Regional Center, St Olaf College and more.
Maureen loved flowers and gardening as well as playing 500 and bridge with her friends. In her younger years, she would host holidays. She was a wonderful cook and baker. She was known for her pie making skills, often being asked by family if she could make the pies for a gathering. Maureen also loved babies! Most of all she loved her family, children, grandchildren, great grands and great great grands, sisters, nieces, in-laws, all of whom still call her sister or daughter. Maureen was loved by family and friends; she loved all. Maureen was an “Angel on Earth”!!
