Maureen Lynn Zebehazy

Maureen Lynn Zebehazy (nee Hipner) passed away at The Center at Arrowhead in Glendale, AZ on October 22nd, 2020 at the age of 72. She was born on November 28th, 1947 to George and Loretta Hipner who predeceased her. Maureen graduated in 1965 from Cleveland High School in Cheektowaga, New York. After moving to Michigan, Maureen worked as an administrative assistant and data processor at Kmart Corporate headquarters. Upon leaving Kmart, Maureen began a job she loved at St. Rene Goupil Parish in Sterling Heights, MI running the RCIA and other adult programs. During her time at St. Rene, Maureen received her Undergraduate diploma in Pastoral Ministry from Sacred Heart seminary in 2006, an accomplishment of which we were all immensely proud. Maureen moved to Arizona shortly thereafter where her son, daughter-in-law and grandson reside. In Arizona she continued her work with the church at Blessed Sacrament parish in Scottsdale. In 2008, Maureen was diagnosed with kidney failure and survived on dialysis for 12 years before her passing.

Maureen was a devoted to her family, her friends, and her faith in God. She tirelessly gave of herself to all who needed help and was a beacon to all who knew her. Even when illness slowed her down, she kept up a fighting spirit to be there for those she loved. Maureen loved her soap operas and was an avid reader of cozy mysteries. She adored theater and her trips to New York City. She also enjoyed making cards for her friends and family, always wanting to be the first to send out her greetings or reach out to others in their time of need. Maureen is survived by her daughter Kim of Vancouver BC, her son Mark, daughter-in-law Stephanie, and grandson Ryan of Peoria, AZ. Maureen will be laid to rest in Resurrection Cemetery in Clinton Township, MI. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Maureen’s name to the American Kidney Fund (kidneyfund.org). Maureen’s memorial will be at 9:30 AM on 11/20/2020 at St. Rene Goupil.
