Maura’s Obituary On Monday July 15, 2019, Maura McLane departed this life gracefully as she had lived it. Maura was born in 1945 in Auburn, NY and spent her formative years in Syracuse, NY. Maura made San Francisco her home upon her arrival in the early 1970’s. As a warm, loving, kind and generous free spirit with a great sense of humor, she made many cherished lifelong friends wherever she went. Maura enjoyed a rich and fulfilling work life at San Francisco State Health Center, Letterman Hospital and Catholic Charities. Her career culminated at UCSF Langley Porter, from which she retired. Maura was a gifted therapist who helped many people, particularly older adults at UCSF. She was also the lynchpin of the Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy program and research. She and Stu Eisendrath went to the first trainings for this new approach and brought the techniques back to UCSF. Maura became the lead therapist in a National Institute of Health sponsored clinical trial. She mentored many junior clinicians sharing her skills and wisdom freely. Maura was an even keeled gentle soul with even the most challenging clients. Maura is survived by her beloved partner and wife of 43 years, Cassandra Chu and her beloved brothers; Neal, Michael, Terry and Brian as well as a multitude of nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her parents, Andrew and Florence McLane and her brother, Kevin. A private Memorial Mass to celebrate Maura’s life will be held by the McLane family at a later date. To remember Maura, be kind and walk with a light. Read More
