Mrs Walsh spent the last decade of her life at Attracta's Nursing Home in Charlestown, Co Mayo. She is remembered locally as having been the warm hearted head of a large and close family.
She worked for many years with Western Care in Ballinamore and had lived with Alzheimer's disease for over a decade.
In 2014 Louis Walsh told the Irish Independent that he was very close to his mother whose motto was 'your health is his wealth".
He added that Maureen had advised him to be 'nice to people' and to 'enjoy life".
