Joan MAHER Obituary

MAHER (Dawley), Joan Thérèse Joan Dawley Maher, a Decatur, Georgia resident, died on January 23rd at the age of 85. She was born May 8, 1931 in Brooklyn, New York, the daughter of Edwin R. and Josephine Heffernan Dawley. A true Brooklynite, she was raised, married, and started her family in Brooklyn. She was predeceased by her husband, John Maher, in December of 2015 after 61 years of marriage. She is survived by their five children: Jeanne Marie Maher of Damascus, MD (R. James Alwood); John A. of Pittsburgh, PA; James A. of Oakland, CA; Helen M. Brownell of Decatur, GA, (Robert); and Therese M. Pfeifer of Lewisville, TX, (Thomas). She is also survived by seven grandchildren, and one great granddaughter. After their marriage, Joan and John lived briefly in North Chicago, Ill, then Brooklyn, NY; Port Washington, NY; Montgomery, AL; and Carlisle, PA; prior to settling in Decatur, GA in 2006. Joan earned a bachelor's degree from the University of the State of New York; a law degree from The Dickinson School of Law; and two master degrees from the University of Pennsylvania's Fels Institute of Government. In 1977, at the age of 46, Joan started law school full-time. Upon graduating law school in 1980, Joan clerked for a Pennsylvania appellate court judge. She later served as the Assistant Director of Corporate Finance Division for the Pennsylvania Securities Commission. Upon retiring she joined the faculty of Wilson College in Chambersburg, PA. Joan also enjoyed adjunct professorships at The Dickinson School of Law and Widener University's School of Law. In addition, she participated in numerous professional educational activities including chairing various ad hoc committees for the North American Securities Administrators Association and attending several International Economic Crime symposia at Cambridge's Jesus College. Throughout her life, Joan pursued various commercial, community, and charitable roles including managing her family's funeral home in Brooklyn, NY; and serving on various board memberships including St. Christopher's R.C. Orphanage in Sea Cliff, NY; Domestic Violence Services of Cumberland & Perry Counties in PA; and the Board of Governors to The Dickinson School of Law to which she was elected by fellow alumni. Joan was proud of her work with the League of Women Voters while living in Montgomery, AL in the early 1970's. During that time, she worked with the late Alabama State Professor Callie Warren to inspect rural Montgomery County voting precincts concerning amenability to racially fair voting, thus insuring conformance with Civil Rights standards. Joan was active in several church based associations and the religious education of youth at her Port Washington, NY, and Carlisle, PA parishes. In 1970, at the insistence of The Vatican's Cardinal Tisserant, Joan was invested by the Archbishop of NY as a Lady of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher. Joan often said that if she could only do one thing in her adult life, she would be a mother -- and an amazing mom she was. She taught her five children important life lessons, some via conversation, many by how she conducted herself with others. Joan served many official roles in her children's lives, including Girl Scout leader for each of her three daughters, and Cub Scout leader for both sons. She also served on the Nassau County, NY Girl Scout Council. Joan suffered, but was not conquered by, a severe left-brain ischemic stroke in October 2008 - the consequences of which included aphasia, an impairment of language production and speech. Joan achieved a recovery far beyond her doctors' predictions. She forged through these last eight years as she lived her entire life: with grace, joy, optimism, and a genuine smile on her face. Joan's remains were cremated. A memorial mass will be held at St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Decatur at 10:00 am on Saturday, January 28th. Family will visit guests at the church thirty minutes before the mass. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The National Aphasia Association at P.O. Box 87, Scarsdale, NY 10583 or www.aphasia.org, or The John A. & Joan D. Maher Scholarship at Southern Illinois University School of Law (Contact: Thomas C. Britton, Director of Development, at 618-453-8980 or (XXXXX@XXXX.XXX)). A. S. Turner & Sons Decatur, GA.
