OBITUARY:
Maura S. Shaughnessy-Drawbaugh, 47, died suddenly
on Saturday, December
1st, following a brief illness at the Tallahassee Memorial
Health Center in
Tallahassee, Florida. She was the wife of Jeff Drawbaugh
and mother of
Thomas E. Drawbaugh, both of Tallahassee. Born in Woburn,
she was the
daughter of Rita M. (O'Brien) Shaughnessy of Woburn and
the late Thomas A.
Shaughnessy. Ms. Shaughnessy-Drawbaugh grew up on Scott
Street in
Woburn, attended Woburn public schools and graduated
from Woburn High
School with the class of 1973. She held a deep love and
affection for her
native city of Woburn and lived here until just six years
ago when she and her
family relocated to Tallahassee.
For many years, Maura worked for the City of Woburn,
serving both the
Treasurer's Office and Fire Department. The bright light
and warmth of her
compassionate nature and wonderfully quick wit was infectious
to all those
around her. More than anything else, Maura was devoted
to being a loving
mother to her son, Tommy. The deep love and tender care
with which she
nurtured the relationship with her son is where she found
the most joy during
her lifetime. It was a rare occasion to see her anywhere
without Tommy.
The two traveled back to Woburn each year to celebrate
Christmas at the
Shaughnessy home on Scott Street, and enjoyed spending
time with family
and friends. She last visited Woburn in August to surprise
her family and
uncle, Henry Shaughnessy, and join in a celebration marking
Henry's fifty
years of service as a postal carrier in Woburn. She will
be sorely missed.

is survived
