Maureen Annese-Picard, 61, died Thursday, August 29, 2013 following a valiant battle with breast cancer. Born in Boston in 1952, she was the daughter of Elizabeth (Mastrangelo) Annese of Danvers and the late Michael D. Annese. She was raised and educated in Danvers and was a graduate of Danvers High School.

For many years, Maureen was employed as a registered nurse at the former Hunt Memorial Hospital, Salem Hospital, and in private practice. She worked as a nurse practitioner in the practice of Dr. Peter E. Masucci Pediatrics in Everett. She was a loving and dedicated mother who always gave selflessly of herself. She was devoted to her family. In addition to her mother, she leaves behind her two sons, Brant Picard of Ayer and Michael Picard of Danvers, a granddaughter, Carolin, her very dear and devoted friends Josep Alba, her cousin Donna Masucci and her husband Peter of Boxford, and a loving extended family and many dear friends.

Brant and family…my sincere sympathies to all of you at this very sad time. May the passing of time help you to heal..sending much love
I am so sorry to learn of Maureen’s passing. I worked with her at the Hunt Memorial Hospital. She was so kind and gentle. I’ll remember her sweet smile she often had as we worked together on 2 West. Her work ethic was second to none, often quietly skipping lunch to continue caring for her patients. I’m glad she was part of my life, albeit briefly. God bless her. Dana
Dear Brant, please accept my deepest sympathies and condolences on the loss of your beloved Mother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Kippy
Although I never met Maureen in person, that didn’t stop me from realizing what a sweet, loving, caring and generally wonderful woman she was. I work for Dr. Masucci’s answering service and had the pleasure of speaking to Maureen often (sometimes it seemed like it was every night). What a blessing she was. I feel blessed just to have been able to speak to her and wish I could have met her in person.
