MARY MAULICK

Mary Therese (Geenen) Maulick, 93, of Freedom, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully at Primrose Memory Care in Appleton on July 9, 2024.

Born in Freedom on January 6, 1931, to the late Joe and Clara Geenen (Coffey), Mary Therese attended St. Mary Springs High School in Fond du Lac and studied at Mount Mary College in Milwaukee.

Mary Therese was united in marriage to her high school sweetheart, Mike Maulick, on May 17, 1951, sharing 72 years together before his passing on February 19, 2023. Together, they owned and operated Geenen Shopping Center, which included True Value Hardware and SuperValu Grocery.

She was a lifelong member of St. Nicholas Church where she was active in many ways, including the Christian Mothers Society and the funeral choir. She volunteered for 14 years at Appleton Medical Center, was a member of the VFW Auxiliary and the Kaukauna Elks Club, enjoyed golfing at Fox Valley Golf Club and belonged to numerous bridge groups. She also enjoyed traveling, reading, walking and socializing with friends. She had a special place in her heart for children and especially enjoyed seeing her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Above all, Mary Therese was a dedicated and loving mother and wife who would do anything for her family. She was selfless, willingly sharing whatever she had with others. Her loyalty and friendship were deeply valued by all who knew her.
