Sea Bright-raised longtime Red Bank resident and area teacher, Maureen Hintelmann, passed away peacefully on Jan. 12 at Riverview Medical Center.
Raised in Sea Bright, Maureen graduated from Sea Bright Grammar School and Red Bank Catholic High School in the Class of ‘59. She continued her education at Montclair State University, graduating with a teaching degree, and later Monmouth University, where she earned a master’s degree in Administration.
Maureen met the love of her life, Tom Hintelmann, while working a summer job at Sea Bright Beach Club. They married in 1965 and raised their family in Red Bank.
She began her teaching career at Deane-Porter Elementary School in Rumson. When Maureen’s children were born, she took a break from teaching to be a full-time mother to Tom and Nancy. She returned to the classroom several years later at Saint James Elementary School, where she taught for many years, and eventually became their beloved principal.
After a long career at Saint James, she moved across the driveway to her alma mater, Red Bank Catholic High School. Maureen served as the Director of Admissions and worked closely with many students who were her Casey ambassadors.
Maureen was predeceased by: Tom, her loving husband of 57 years, a former Red Bank councilman; her parents, Captain George and Ella Olsen Dougherty; and her beloved sister, Patsy Kelly.
She is survived by: her son, Tom, and wife Mindy, of Tinton Falls; her daughter, Nancy Murphy and husband Sean, of Red Bank; her six beloved grandchildren, Sean, Matthew, Tommy, Michael, Kaitlin and Katherine; and her loving nieces and nephews.
