StephanieL Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I've heard through the grapevine that MF member Maureen O'Reilly passed away yesterday. I can't remember what her screen name was, as there are many folks here whose real name (or full name) I've never learned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maison rustique Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 It broke my heart to see her husband post about it on Facebook yesterday. She was such a brilliant woman and so kind. I will miss her terribly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Can anyone share her screen name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maison rustique Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I don't remember it. I might have been able to track it down by stuff she might have posted about, but I think all the old stuff is gone, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mongo Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 i have sent messages to squeat and rancho gordo (both listed as fb friends of maureen o'reilly)--maybe one of them will remember what her username was here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve R. Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I've done the same with Deb Van D & Lauren. Deb couldn't remember & Lauren hasn't responded yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 well, both steve and squeat came up empty. i'll ask lippy next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maison rustique Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 And I'll ask Carrie Tillie. Not sure why I didn't think of it sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 as per squeat, she doesn't know either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maison rustique Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Yes, Carrie says no. I just sent a message to Nancy Smith who is a moderator/admin at eG to see if there is a way she can find her name there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 egullet still exists? you really do learn something new each day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 apparently the username may have been "irishcream". i can't remember that username at all on mouthfuls, so either this was her egullet username or she ddn't post very much here--or not since the very early days. does that name ring a bell for anyone else?

maison rustique Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I do remember Irish Cream but I don't recall her posting much here. She did post a bit on eG, but it was a long time ago. She was so active in her volunteer work and travels that she just didn't seem to have the time for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieL Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Yes, more from eGullet than here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
