Daniel R. Maroney
We lovingly remember our dad and grandpa, Daniel R. Maroney, who died peacefully at Grace Village Retirement Community on Saturday, April 15, 2023.
Dan was born to Paul and Roxie Maroney on March 5, 1932 in Ann Arbor, MI. He lived in and around Chelsea, MI most of his early years until January 1966, when he moved to Ohio, then later to Columbia City, IN. He liked talking about Chelsea, as it was the home of Jiffy Mix and actor Jeff Daniels, whose family he knew.
In 1950, Dan began attending Olivet College, Olivet, MI. Dan always loved music and while there, he played trombone in the Jackson Civic Orchestra. He transferred to Michigan State his third year, and from that point on was a die-hard “Go Green” fan. He took the train to attend the 1954 MSU-UCLA Rose Bowl Game – noted as one of the largest mass movements of people at one time. Unbeknownst to him, his future wife, Patricia Bowman, attended the same game on that same train.
age 96, of Chelsea, Michigan, formerly of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, died Monday, April 3, 2023 at the Chelsea Retirement Community. She was born April 23, 1926, in Bangor, Maine, the daughter of Wendell and Margaret (Young) Fernald.
