She was born April 10, 1961 in Lorain. She was raised in Amherst, with Camden Township as her home for the last seventeen years. Graduating from Amherst Marion L. Steele High School in 1979, she went on to continue her education at Findlay University receiving her BA in Teaching, Counseling, and Special Education.

As a home schooling mother of four, Maureen served in various capacities of the PATH home school support group as Co-Coordinator, Coordinator, and most recently as its secretary. In addition to her leadership roles, she arranged field trips, taught several classes including Latin, English, composition, consumer math and assisted in the intramural volleyball and the drama club as well as providing seniors photographs.
She was an avid supporter of her husband's role as a head coach of a Little League Baseball team from the Wellington Rec. Park serving as the scorekeeper for the team.
She was a member of Camden Baptist Church participating in the choir, teaching Sunday School to the primaries, teaching ladies Bible study, serving as a finance officer, photographing weddings for many of the church families, serving on the Alabaster Women's Ministry Board and working at VBS, as well as on the baptismal and communion committees.

Her hobbies included photography, reading, Sudoku, solitaire, baseball, playing Euchre with her family, movies, family trips, and shopping with her Mother and sisters. Her role as a homemaker, and home educator was her focus in life. Her favorite pastime was taking walks with her husband.
Maureen was the loving wife of John Ciarrone for twenty-four years; the caring and loving mother to her children Lauren Kay, Justin Lawrence, Nathan Dominic, and "J.J." Jonathan James, all at home; the precious daughter of her mother Raynelle Galvin (nee: Augusta) of Sheffield Village; beloved sister to Bob Galvin and his wife Pat of Maumee, Ohio, Kevin Galvin and his wife Brenda of Findlay, Ohio, Mary Kerr and her husband Durbin of Upper Arlington, Ohio and Colleen Scott and her husband David of Marysville, Ohio; and aunt to several nieces and nephews.

CAMDEN TOWNSHIP — A Lorain County Community College instructor killed while walking along a rural road was a vibrant woman with the ability to teach her students in a way that made them believe in themselves, said a colleague.
Maureen Ciarrone, 48, of Camden Township, was killed instantly Thursday night after being struck by a Ford Ranger as she was walking west on the side of Betts Road.
A 1995 Ford Ranger was being driven by 18-year-old Tyler Mclean, of Wellington, west on Betts Road, when he struck Ciarrone, Highway Patrol trooper Shawn Kline said. Mclean did not appear to be speeding and wasn't injured during the accident, but did tell officers it was raining heavily at the time of the crash.
Kline said he is unsure whether alcohol or drugs were involved in the accident, but is waiting on the results of a urine sample from Mclean. The final results will be released within the next two weeks, he said.
Ciarrone had been teaching pre-algebra at LCCC since the fall of 2008. This summer, she began teaching math to nontraditional students at LCCC's Wellington Center, and planned on returning for another semester when the class ended in August.
Catherine Worden, the Wellington Center coordinator, said Ciarrone was loved by her students at both the Elyria and Wellington campuses for her teaching style and vivacious personality.
"For many of her students, her math class was the first math class they encountered, and she was able to build their self-confidence in ways other teachers couldn't," Worden said. "She wanted to see her students succeed, and that made a difference when it came to building their belief in themselves."
Worden said Ciarrone presented the 10 nontraditional students in her Wellington Center class with group work rather than individual work, which built a strong camaraderie among the members of the class. She said the students became a tight-knit group because of Ciarrone's teaching style, and that it was rare for any of them to miss the Monday through Thursday morning class.
"She would always tell everyone how much she loved working with the college and reaching out to the underserved members of the community," Worden said. "I just saw her yesterday as she was walking out the door, telling everyone to have a good weekend. She will be so missed."
When Ciarrone wasn't teaching her students or spending time with her four children, she could be found laughing and smiling with her husband of 24 years, John Ciarrone.
Worden said John would often come to the Wellington Center to use the computers when Ciarrone was working, and the two were always happy when they were together.
"They were a match set," she said. "There are some people who you know are destined to be together, and her and John were one of them. Their love was the kind you don't see everyday."
A wake for Ciarrone will be Monday from 2 to 4 p.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Camden Baptist Church in Camden Township where Ciarrone sang in the choir and worked on the baptismal and communion committees, among other activities.
Her funeral will also take place at the church Tuesday at 11 a.m. and a burial in Camden Township Cemetery will follow.
Memorial contributions can be made at any FirstMerit bank to the Maureen Ciarrone Fund for the continuing education of her children
