Maura E. Slattery Loving Mother ANDOVER—Maura E. Slattery passed away peacefully in her home in Andover, MA on Tuesday, July 7, 2015 at the premature age of 47. She is survived by her beloved children, Catherine, Bridget, and Declan Machold of Andover, formerly of Chelmsford. Born in Lowell, MA on July 18, 1967, she was the daughter of Mary A. (Flaherty) Slattery of Lowell and the late James M. Slattery of Lowell. She attended Sacred Heart Grammar School and graduated from Lowell High School, Class of 1985. She continued her education at Saint Michael’s College, Winooski, VT where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration, Class of 1989. Maura excelled in her career as a human resources executive for over 25 years. She truly enjoyed working with her colleagues and friends at GE Insurance, Cisco Systems, Sun Life, and Millennium Pharmaceuticals. In addition to her children and extended family, Maura’s passions included fashion, baking, and travel. She was fortunate to travel extensively for work and with her family throughout Ireland, Europe, Canada, and Asia. Maura regularly recalled with good humor her pre-marriage travel excursions with her mother throughout Europe as well as an around-the-world trip with her father in 1987. She was very proud of her Irish Heritage and she maintained dual citizenship with Ireland.
