GTA IV: Maureen McReary
Maureen McReary (often referred to simply as Mrs. McReary) is a minor character in Grand Theft Auto IV who serves as the devout, long-suffering matriarch of the Irish-American McReary family and mother to Patrick ("Pa**ie"), Gerald ("Gerry"), Derrick, Kate, and corrupt LCPD Deputy Commissioner Francis McReary. Residing at the family home on Savannah Avenue in Meadow Hills, Dukes, Maureen is a deeply religious woman who remains in complete denial regarding her sons' heavy involvement in organized crime, choosing to view them as good-hearted boys despite the constant vulgar arguments, weapon handling, and criminal plotting that take place under her roof. Appearing primarily in pre-mission cutscenes for operations like "Waste Not Want Knots," she welcomes Niko Bellic into her home with maternal warmth and hospitality, offering him food and tea while acting as a gentle, domestic contrast to the chaotic violence of her sons' lives. Ultimately, Maureen becomes one of the game's most tragic background figures, enduring immense sorrow as her family unravels through the imprisonment of Gerry, the heartbreak of Kate's potential murder, and the tragic death of either Derrick or Francis following the decision Niko is forced to make during the mission "Blood Brothers."
