Maureen Bading passed away peacefully at home after a long illness and went to be with our Lord.  On that day, we had a flock of her hummingbirds and were blessed with heaven’s kisses. We had 47 butterflies that landed on everyone standing on the porch. They would allow you to hold them and wouldn’t fly away.

Maureen attended Jefferson High School in Cedar Rapids. She had many friends but developed a strong friendship with Tom Bading, for they were both free spirits. They were married on Feb. 23, 1980. Together they were not just the best of friends, but also soulmates, and they found true love in one another.
