Maureen Ann (Dixon) Serafin

       Maureen Ann Serafin, age 79 of Greenwood, IN, formerly of Chesterton, IN, passed away peacefully on January 16, 2021 in Indianapolis, IN. She was born on October 28, 1941 in Chicago, IL to Cyril and Margaret Ann (Sullivan) Dixon, both of whom preceded her in death.

       On June 11, 1960, she married the love of her life, Roy J. Serafin, who preceded her in death on February 27, 1990.

       She is survived by her loving sons, David Serafin of Greenwood, IN, and Brian and Beth Serafin of Valparaiso, IN; her treasured grandchildren: Amy (Matt) Winkoff of Valparaiso, IN, Alyssa J. Serafin of Crestwood, IL, David J. “DJ” Serafin of Lake Station, IN, Aileen A. Serafin of LaPorte, IN, Thomas L. Serafin of Crestwood, IL, Roy J. Serafin of Westville, IN; her great-grandson, Wyatt Winkoff of Valparaiso, IN; her sister-in-law, Annette Dixon of Chicago, IL; Sherri Balka mother of Amy, Alyssa, Aileen, and Tommy; and Tammy Knox the mother of DJ. She is also survived and loved by her many cousins, nieces, and nephews. 

       She was preceded in death by her son, Kenneth G. Serafin on August 31, 2010; her treasured granddaughter, Heather A. Serafin on October 25, 2015; and by her siblings: Richard Dixon, Margaret Felts, Patricia Mearsman, and Rose Mary Troia. 

       Maureen enjoyed playing cards, going to the casino, and dancing. Maureen also loved spending time in the kitchen. She spent over 30 years working as a cook at Winfields, Country Kitchen, and the Hilton. She loved to cook for her family, as well. Nothing brought more joy to her heart than seeing her family sitting at the table together and enjoying a nice meal. She would always say after a long day of food and laughter, "Kitchen's closed"... 20 minutes later, she would be asking if we were hungry. That is how big her heart was. She always made sure that everyone in her family was taken care of at all times.

       Maureen was a remarkable woman and when she would laugh, she would light up the room. She was known as Grandma Duck by not only her grandkids, but by just about everyone who knew her. And everyone she knew was called "Whatchamacallit!" 

       As Grandma Duck would say, "Nite All! Love Ya Lots!"

       A Memorial Service and Memorial Dinner will be held at a later date.
