Megan Lee McAuliffe Mauro, 28, of Branford, formerly of Wallingford, died unexpectedly on Aug. 18, 2013, due to injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. She was the loving wife of Vincent Mauro.

She was predeceased by her paternal grandfather, Daniel McAuliffe, and her nephew, Keano Ferrucci. 

True to her generous nature, she continues to help others with the donation of organs which resulted in saving three lives.
