Maureen (Gillis) Chamberlin

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Maureen Chamberlin, on August 25, 2024. Born on April 1, 1946, to the late Neil and Helen (Bryan) Gillis, Maureen spent her formative years in Charlestown before settling in Revere, Massachusetts. Widely recognized for her compassionate demeanor, Maureen's generosity knew no bounds. She was a real-life testament to the idea that giving was more satisfying than receiving. She had a tremendous sense of humor and no one ever had to guess what Maureen was thinking!

Maureen’s home in Revere was a sanctuary of love and joy. It was the epicenter of pool parties and family gatherings that she adored hosting. Her joy in decorating for every holiday, especially Christmas and St. Patrick's Day, was infectious, creating an ambiance that warmly welcomed all who visited.

For Maureen, family was not just an important thing, it was everything. Maureen was the beloved wife to the late Ret. Lt. Stephen Chamberlin Sr of the Revere Fire Dept. She is survived by her children, Stacey Buonfiglio and her husband Paul Buonfiglio III of Lynnfield, Stephen Chamberlin Jr.  and his wife Angela of Revere, and Amy Chamberlin of Revere.  Her siblings, Neil Gillis and his late wife Peggy of East Dennis, Jane Gillis Ryle of Medford, Eileen Gillis of Revere, Nancy Russell and her late husband David of ME, Joe and Linda Bryan of Andover, Linda Bard of Melrose and the late Ann Collins and Bobby and Kay Gillis.  Grandmother of Paul S. Buonfiglio and his wife Bianca, Alexandra Walsh and her husband Casey, Ava Buonfiglio, and Nicholas Chamberlin.  Great grandmother of Roman, Lorenzo, and Paul Vincent Buonfiglio, and Joseph Walsh.  Aunt to Cheryl, Karen, David, Patrick, Johnny, Mary Helen, Vanessa, Jacquelyn, Michelle, Krissy, Bryan, Katie, Ruthie, Mack, Owen, Kristen and the late Paul.  She will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
