Maureen Kukor
(nee Goodsell)
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Maureen Kukor, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, who left us peacefully on December 7, 2025, at the age of 80. Maureen was born on December 16, 1944, in Chatham, Kent, England, and found her way to Franklin, Wisconsin, where she cherished a life filled with love, laughter, and family. And even though she lived in America for over 4 decades Maureen still retained her English accent and her friends and family often referred to her as “The Queen”.
Maureen is survived by her husband Kevin, children; Mark (Mary) Tuffey, Neil, Tuffey, Clive Tuffey, Ryan (Maria) Kukor, Quinn (Luka) Kukor, and Mackenzie Gannon, grandchildren; Carisa (Andy) Bartelt, Mitchell (Megan) Tuffey, Tyler (Kayla) Graf, Morgan (Austin) Elliott, Anika Kukor, Reed Kukor, Dorothy Kukor, and Joe Gannon, great-grandchildren; Miles Bartelt, Kaden Graf, Mabel Elliott, and Maddux Elliott, sister; Marion (Dennis) Elven.
Maureen is preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Dorothy Goodsell, her grandson Ean Tuffey, as well as her beloved dogs Riley, Mulligan, and Jameson.
Maureen dedicated much of her career to office and clerical positions, ultimately retiring from the Milwaukee Dustless Brush Company in 1994. This new chapter allowed her to embrace her true passion: being a devoted grandmother. Her warmth and affection shone brightly in the lives of her grandchildren, who filled her days with joy and laughter.
A true lover of the written word, Maureen found solace in reading and the challenge of puzzles, often losing herself in stories that transported her to new worlds. She had a zest for travel, eagerly exploring various destinations. She particularly looked forward to annual trips to Door County and Las Vegas, but nowhere did she find more happiness than in the company of her loved ones. Wintering in Fort Myers, Florida, brought her sunshine and relaxation, enhancing her love of life and family.
The family would like to thank the staff at Castle Sr. Living for the care they provided and also wish to extend special heartfelt thanks to Mackenzie Gannon for the compassion and care she provided to Maureen in her final months.
To honor her remarkable life, a funeral service will take place at Heritage Funeral Home (4800 S. 84th St. Greenfield, WI 53228), where family and friends will gather to celebrate her legacy. The visitation will be held on Saturday, December 20, at 9:00 AM, followed by the funeral service at 11:00 AM.
In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to The Alzheimer’s Association or Wisconsin Special Olympics.
As we remember Maureen, we celebrate the love she imparted, the lives she touched, and the joyful moments that will forever echo in our hearts. Her spirit will continue to inspire us all, a gentle reminder of the beauty of family, love, and cherished memories.
Kevin,
Maureen, you and the family are all in our prayers. We are sure God has welcomed her into his loving arms.
Attachment
Dear Kevin and family, Marion and Dennis, from one family to another, it is with heartfelt sorrow to hear your very sad news, Maureen was a very genuine and lovely person, the loss of a loved one is very hard to bear, we have found a picture of Maureen when she was very young with her Uncle Vic (our dad and her dad Frank his brother)
With love
Violet, Patti and Valerie
Attachment
Auntie Maureen was one of those rare people whose kindness was felt the moment you were in her presence. She had a warm heart, a generous spirit, and a way of making everyone feel welcome and cared for, no matter the circumstances.
She will be deeply missed, but her love lives on in our hearts and in the memories we will cherish forever. We are so grateful to have had her in our lives and will carry her with us always.
With all our love,
Duncan and the boys
