Maureen Mengelt died at age 52 on Sunday April 7th, 2013. Her quick smile and positive attitude lifted everyone she met. Her simple interests—family, friends, running, good coffee, and attending her children's music programs and sporting events—showed a passion and happiness that inspired others. Her family honored her by establishing the Maureen Mengelt Memorial Fund to benefit Sun Prairie youth activities. Her husband Kevin said the fund is proof that good truly can come from tragedy. The city of Sun Prairie recognized Maureen's selfless acts and compassion and was inspired by her family's dedication to cultivating good works in the community.
