Maureen Van Hook

Maureen Van Hook, of Wilmington, Vermont, passed away on August 25, 2019. Maureen was a long-time resident of Wilmington, having moved to the area from New York City in 1989. Her original plan was to take a break from the city life and spend some time in the country in the area that her parents had recently retired to. That break lasted thirty years. She loved Vermont. As a bartender at Cuzzins at Mt. Snow, Maureen was popular and familiar and comforting figure at the ski area for many years. Her long blonde curls and big smile were easy to notice and hard to forget. During summer, she would move to the Mt. Snow golf course as a server and bartender. She very much enjoyed the comradery with her friends on the Mt. Snow Golf School team. Maureen attended Immaculate Heart Academy in New Jersey, where she excelled at academics and as an athlete. She went on to attend the University of Vermont. Maureen loved the outdoors, her dogs, her family and friends, and tennis. She had a fierce personality that was based in love and loyalty. A celebration of Maureen’s life will be held at the Dover Forge in West Dover on Saturday, November 9, from 12 to 4 o’clock. All friends are invited to attend. Maureen joins her father, Charlie, who passed away in 2015, whom she missed dearly. She leaves behind her mother and brothers and sisters, and her beloved pets; Angie, Billy, and Kid.
