My memories of Aunt Meave always take me to a place of acceptance and warmth. As an awkward adolescent, this was especially valued. I realize now that she was a gifted communicator and very special person. I offer my deepest sympathy to Larry, Mavis, my mother Jane, and all who were close to her.
Met Meave almost 20 years ago at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, and a beautiful friendship began. Every year, I looked forward to spending five days shopping, costuming, and racing to our next panel together with our mutual friend, Gail Gallaher. Over the years, our "meet at convention" relationship changed into a real, strong friendship.
I absolutely adore Meave. She's leaving a giant hole in all of our lives, which I think is a true testament to her impact on us.
All my love to Larry, Mavis, Ed and the kids - she talked about you all so much I feel like I've known you all as well as I knew Meave. ❤️
Meave Brennan was my Auntie. Because of my parents divorce I didn’t meet Meave until I was 42 about 12 years ago. To me, Meave was the bright shining light of the Brennan family. Since the first time we emailed she invited me in, made me feel welcome & I immediately felt a strong connection to Meave. We would talk on the phone for hours. She was silly & funny and we always had trouble saying goodbye. Meave turned out to be more than my Auntie she was also my very good friend. She was a wonderful Great Auntie to my three adult children with autism. She always asked about them when we spoke and they loved talking with her, even when they didn’t have anything to say. She was kind, generous and so brave. I am so grateful that I found my Auntie Meave and was able to spend time with her and Larry.
I just wish we had more time.

Meave was a beautiful lady, inside and out. She loved her husband, Larry, very much. Larry loved her so much. I saw how he cared for her in her final months, never leaving her side. She loved her daughter, Mavis and son-in-law, Ed. She adored her two granddaughters, Amelia and Emily. I worked with Meave for 25+ years, and I remember at the lunch table she would bring out her phone with a big smile on her face and show us the 50+ pictures of her granddaughters. She was so proud of them. She was so proud of her daughter and son-in-law also.
Meave was fun, just ask her Dragoncon friends. She was smart, caring and beloved by all. Her love for animals, especially cats, was probably an inspiration for her daughter, Mavis, to become a veterinarian. She loved clothes and bargains. Always the fashion Queen wherever she went. Meave was always serious about her profession as a Social Worker and later in Management of Quality Assurance. She did her best to insure everyone followed the rules and make Phoenix Center an agency with high standards of care.
But most of all to me, she was my friend! I love her. I will miss her and she will be in my memories always!

Meave will be missed by so many. I worked with Meave at Phoenix Center. We were on many committees during our tenure at Phoenix. I remember how patient she was with staff when training on policies and procedures. Meave was respected by her peers.
Meave was so young at heart; dressing up for Dragon Con in Atlanta or by dying her hair pink just for the fun of it.
She was a fashionista! I think she never wore the same outfit twice. She had a collection of jewelry that was so eclectic and fun.
After retiring, 5 friends got together at least once a month for lunch.
(Meave, Sandra, Karen, Lynne and myself) we are going to miss her so much!
She inspired me to travel after listening to her tell us about her many trip's. She enjoyed traveling so much.
I’m going to miss her so much. She had a kind heart.
