Maura Kat Stauffer

August 30, 1948 – August 4, 2022

Maura Kat (Gibson) Stauffer passed away at her home in Clearwater Florida surrounded by her husband, two daughters and her spirited animals. Through a long struggle with illness, she loved to gaze out at the scenic Gulf of Mexico from her condo balcony where she resided with her beloved husband, Bob, for her happiest years.

A longtime resident of Revere, she was a graduate of Revere High School and continued to have many friends in this area throughout her life. She lived in New Hampshire for over 10 years before moving to Florida in the late 1990’s.

She worked as a model and traveled extensively in her youth. She also worked as a beautician “On Broadway” in Revere and later had careers in retail and administration. She did fundraising for her daughter’s field hockey team and coached her other daughter’s softball team.

Maura was beautiful, gracious and charming. With her kind heart, she always shared space with at least two or three animals. Interior decorating her various homes was one of her great joys and she was known to rearrange furniture with no notice and much to her family’s chagrin.

Fashion was another interest and she tried to indulge in the latest styles. She enjoyed movies, TV series, music and politics and stayed in touch with friends via the internet, but her biggest passion was following the Boston Red Sox.

She had an adventurous spirit. Maura sailed happily with her father in his cabin cruiser off Cape Cod in her youth. Swimming in Revere Beach during her youth was one of her favorite sports, although she liked soccer and softball and was a first-class dancer. She was a wonderful friend, a devoted wife and caring mother.

She was the daughter of the late Richard (Chick) Gibson, a lifetime member of the Revere Police force and the late Virginia Gibson of Florida. She will be dearly missed by her beloved and devoted husband, Bob Stauffer of Clearwater, Florida. She leaves behind two beloved daughters, Adria Bagshaw of Amherst, NH and Devlyn Parsons of Scottsdale, AZ, as well as her son-in-law, Aaron Bagshaw and two teenage grandchildren, Kyan and Maya. She will always be remembered by her best friend and side-kick of seventy years, Arline Greenfield as well as Karen Benson who was her partner in crime when they were single mothers together in the 70’s and early 80’s.

Maura will be laid to rest at Curlew Hills in Tarpon Springs. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Maura’s memory to The CMT Research Foundation at 4062 Peachtree Road, Suite A209 in Atlanta GA, 30319 or directly to https://cmtrf.org/donate/.
