Maureen Wolf Zaniel, born and raised in Aiken, South Carolina, passed away on July 24, 2024, at the age of 73. She was the daughter of the late Samuel and Evelyn Goss Wolf.  Maureen moved to the Washington, DC area in 1978 to attend Georgetown Law, where she graduated with a JD in 1981. She dedicated over 30 years of her career as a lawyer for the Washington, DC government, working for the Office of the Attorney General.

Maureen was the loving mother of Abigail Kroll and her husband Adam. She was also a beloved Mimi to her grandchildren, Maya and Tessa Kroll.
