Jettie O'Connell Obituary
Jettie Lee (Stark) O'Connell of Springboro, Ohio, born October 1,1939 passed away peacefully on August 8, 2023. She is survived by her husband Patrick O'Connell, her children Julie (Steve) Janning, Raymond (Danielle) Stark, Cindy (Anton) Loon and grandchildren Joe Stark, Austin Janning, Laurin Janning, Jack Loon, Emme Loon and Kaylee Stark.
Jettie grew up in Chillicothe, Ohio daughter of Albert and Mary Dailey and oldest of 10 siblings. She married Raymond Stark "Sonny" in February of 1964 and moved to the Dayton area where they raised their 3 children. After Sonny passed away in 2005, she remarried a few years later to Patrick O'Connell and moved to Springboro, Ohio.
Although Jettie worked for Elder Beermans for over 20 years, her true love was volunteering. She was either a "room mom", active on the PTA, a Brownies or Blue Bird/Camp Fire Girls leader throughout her children's school years. Once they were grown, she became very active with the Church of the Ascension, either with RCIA, Women's Guild, as a Eucharistic minister, or even Bingo and coffee and donuts. In 2009, Ascension named her "Woman of the Year" and described her as "gracious and unassuming, ready to help with a kind word and friendly smile".
In recent years, you would often hear Jettie speak of her "Happy Place" in the Fiddlers Creek community of Naples, Florida. Her and Patrick enjoyed many good years there, made a lot of friends with special memories.

Met Jettie in Columbus when we lived in a rooming home a short time. Wasn´t long before she, Anne and myself rented and moved in together. All 3 of us were from large families and got along perfectly. Many good memories I will continue to remember. Jettie always had a smile! Thoughts and prayers to your family. I d loved to attended, but my husband has Parkensons and it s hard to get away , but my thoughts have been with you these past few days. Annie Rumer
