Maureen Ann Simard, 71, of Londonderry, NH, passed away Friday June 20, 2025 at her home, peacefully after a long, courageous illness. She was born on April 21, 1954 in Manchester, NH, a daughter of the late James and Rita (Perkins) King, and had been a resident of Londonderry for the past 14 years. Maureen worked as a Bank Research Analyst for Citizens Bank. She later worked as a cashier at Big Lots.
Maureen was a volunteer at Elliot Hospital for many years and always helped the less unfortunate. Her passions were spending time with her family and friends, playing cards on the weekends, going to the beach, and traveling to Ireland with her son and Florida with her daughter. She was a selfless woman who gave what she could to anyone in times of need and never expected anything in return. She had a special bond with her niece, Trisha Crossen and daughter, Mary Crossen.
She is survived by her two daughters, Krysten Morrissey and husband John of Derry, NH and Melissa King of Alexandria, VA; her son, Timothy Simard and his wife Alyssa of Raymond, NH, her two beloved grandchildren, Dylan and Levi Simard; one brother, James King and his wife Marie of Manchester; one sister, Margaret and her husband Jack Ziemba of Hampton, NH; nephew John and Kristine Ziemba, and niece April and Patrick Broderick and their children Macy and Kate; as well as her former husband of 35 years, Maurice D. Simard of Barnstead, NH, with whom she continued to have a relationship. She was predeceased by her brother, Michael King.
