Maureen Mary Newman, 86, of Great Falls, MT passed away peacefully on October 28, 2022, surrounded by family. Maureen was born to Michael and Marguerite Ferguson on June 22, 1936, in Malta, MT. She graduated from Columbus High School in 1955. In 1956, she moved to Great Falls.

While working at Western Union, she met the love of her life, Jack Newman. They married in November of 1956. Jack and Maureen raised three children, young Jack, Colleen, and Shawnie.
