Florence S. O'Brien
Florence Sheehan O'Brien, born on September 15, 1936, in White Plains, NY, passed away on Friday, February 10, 2023, at the Glen Hill Center surrounded by her loving family. Florence was raised in Pelham, NY and graduated from St. Gabriel High School in New Rochelle. In 1959 Florence married Morgan O'Brien and they ultimately settled in Danbury, CT, where she raised her family. As a mother, she taught CCD for St. Gregory's in Danbury, served as President of the Danbury School Volunteers, and was very involved in P.T.O. activities in her children's schools. Florence is survived by her children, Susan O'Brien Inz (Jonathan) of Bedford MA, Morgan J. O'Brien Jr. of Mount Pleasant SC, and Kathleen O'Brien of Hampton CT. Also surviving are grandchildren, Zachary and Rebecca Inz; sisters, Barbara Sheehan, Kathleen Sheehan, and Peg Ellis; and many nieces and nephews. Florence was known for her quick wit, her great sense of humor, and love of all things chocolate. She was a huge fan of crossword puzzles, loved the music of Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand, enjoyed cooking for family gatherings in her younger days, and became a big fan of tennis in her later years. Her family would like to thank the amazing staff at Glen Hill Center as well as her sister, Kathy, and her niece, Eileen, for the wonderful care they provided her with over the last months of her life. There are no calling hours; the family has planned a private Celebration of Life. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Glen Hill Residents Fund c/o the Glen Hill Center, 1 Glen Hill Rd., Danbury, CT 06811.
