Color, Design and Fashion were woven through the tapestry of her life. She operated Agecroft Interiors, was an exceptional interior decorator, and a talented seamstress. Maura will probably be best remembered as the co-owner of Ponemah Farms where she was fondly referred to as “Mrs. D”. She worked beside her husband Leo, building a business and family that others were warmly welcomed into. She filled many roles at Ponemah Farms including chef, manager, friend and “second” mother to many employees and customers. She was passionate about helping children in need, and she loved animals, especially her dogs. Maura’s gift to her family will be the example of the extraordinary love that she shared with Leo. Maura was extremely proud of her children and grandchildren, and they adored her in return. Maura will be remembered as a kind and gentle lady who made the world a more beautiful place, and she will be missed by many. The family would like to thank the Visiting Angels for their support over the past year especially Connie Silva who was a dear friend to Maura and a compassionate caregiver. Visiting hours will be held on Thursday, June 7th from 4:00-8:00 pm in the Smith & Heald Funeral Home, 63 Elm Street, Milford. Funeral services will be private at a later date.
