Maureen Kathleen Stewart Forrester, a notable figure in her own right, came into this world on July 25, 1930, in the vibrant city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where she would go on to spend her formative years.
Her parents, Thomas Forrester, a skilled cabinetmaker hailing from Scotland, and his wife May Arnold, who was of Irish descent, welcomed their firstborn child with open arms. Maureen would grow up to be the eldest of four siblings, surrounded by the love and support of her family.
