Maureen Schilling (McClain), age 74, was born in Philadelphia, PA on February 12, 1949. She grew up in Fishtown, attended Holy Name Catholic School, and went on to St.Anne’s Business School. After graduating, Maureen worked for Bayox Cigars, after that, Jeweler's Row, then the Delaware Ribbon Company, finally spending the next 40 years doing what she loved most bartending. Maureen bartended at Bentley’s Bar in Kensington, where she met many friends and even became famous in the Rocky Balboa movie.

After retiring in 2016, some of her favorite pastimes were reading the daily news, doing the crosswords, decorating for holidays, going down the shore, and enjoying the backyard pool with her grandchildren.
