Maureen Kumm

Maureen (Parciak) Kumm, 78, of Berlin, Connecticut, passed away peacefully on November 11, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

Born in New Britain, CT, on January 31, 1948, she was the beloved daughter of the late Edward and Irene Parciak. Maureen resided in New Britain for most of her life before settling in Berlin in 1987. She dedicated many years of service to Parker-Hannifin until her retirement. For the past two years she has been lovingly cared for by the staff of Glastonbury Healthcare Center in Glastonbury, CT.

Maureen cherished summers at Cornfield Point in Old Saybrook, where she found immense joy in watching her children—and later her grandchildren—enjoy the beach as much as she did. A wonderful cook, she lovingly prepared dishes for countless holiday meals, keeping special traditions alive, such as making homemade pierogies for Christmas Eve. Above all, Maureen was a devoted grandmother who treasured every moment spent with her grandchildren, spoiling them at every opportunity and showering them with gifts from "Santa" each Christmas Eve. She was always their biggest supporter, enthusiastically attending their many sports and activities, and enjoyed taking memorable road trips with dear friends over the years.

Maureen is survived by her devoted children: Christopher Kumm and his wife Sherry of Berlin, CT, Brian Kumm and his wife Angela of New Britain, CT, and Alan Kumm and his wife Michelle of Berlin, CT; her cherished grandchildren: Brandon and his wife Sarah, Madeline, Nathaniel, Alexis, and Zachary; her brother, Kenneth Parciak, and his wife Elaine; her sister, Veronica Balicki, and her husband Robert; as well as several nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.
