ABOUT:

Maureen Reardon returned to Springfield in 1982 and soon began working for the man whom she would spend the next fifteen years with, Ed Bauer. The two married about a year after Maureen moved to town; they remained married until her death in 1993. (The soap called it fifteen years, but in real time it was ten years)

Maureen’s marriage to Ed was not simple. The two struggled with infidelity, familial problems, alcoholism and other diseases. Despite it all, though, they remained married.

Maureen was a kind woman, always wanting to react in a calm and thoughtful manner. She was fiercely loyal, and she loved her family with all her heart.

Sadly, she died in a car accident on her way to the Bauer cabin.  She was the love of Ed's life, and he never got over her death.
