Maureen A. Kinder, age 82, passed away on Monday, August 22, 2022, in Bradenton, Florida with her children by her side.
She was born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island in 1940 to the late James P. Hosey and Margaret (Pierce) Hosey Kane. Maureen was married to Frederick M. Kinder for 59 years until his death on March 7, 2022. She was a wonderful wife and mother and is survived by five children: Karleen Johnston (Jeff) of Phoenix, Arizona; Christopher Kinder; Daniel Kinder (Laddie) of St. Petersburg, Florida; Susan Bleecker (Jon) of Sharon, Massachusetts; and Julie White (Steve) of Harrisville, Rhode Island. She is also survived by her brothers James P. Hosey, Jr. (Carol) of N. Scituate, Rhode Island, and David Kane, Rhode Island, and sisters-in-law Nancy Kinder (Melody) of Bradenton, Florida, and Brenda Kane of N. Providence, Rhode Island. She was a very proud grandmother of Ashley, Joseph, Jacob, Colin, Daniel and Benjamin. Maureen graduated from Central Falls High School in 1958 and The Memorial Hospital School of Nursing in Pawtucket, Rhode Island in 1961 – her nursing sisters and their annual reunions were very dear to her. She spent most of her career working as a Long Term Care and Skilled Care nurse. Her family will always remember her selflessness and dedication to caring for others, especially her husband and children, putting others’ wants and needs before her own. She liked reading and loved dogs. Her favorite saint was St. Anthony.
The funeral mass in her honor will be held on Saturday, August 27, 2022, at 10:00 am at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, 2704 33rd Avenue West, Bradenton, FL 34205. Brown & Sons Funeral Homes & Crematory, 26th Street Chapel, 5624 26th Street West Bradenton, FL 34207 is in charge of the arrangements.
