Angela O'Connor Obituary
Angela M. O'Connor of Cresskill NJ, died suddenly on Monday, April 10, 2017 at the age of 90. She is survived by her husband Frank O'Connor ("Effie") of 64 years. She was a special mother to Colleen (Christopher) Paige, Frank (Regina) O'Connor, Kevin (Pamela) O'Connor, Sally (Michael) Martino, Christopher O'Connor, Blair (Elizabeth) O'Connor and Kerry (Sean) Folan. She was much loved by her 18 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Angela was predeceased by her four sisters Mary, Paula, Fran and Rosemary, and her two brothers James and Richard.
Angela grew up in Buffalo, NY. The youngest of seven children, "Babe" graduated from Buffalo State Teachers College. She taught kindergarten after graduating, and later in New Jersey, before retiring with Frank to 22 great years in Savannah, GA. She was very adventurous, loved to travel and always kept active with her bridge groups and book clubs.
Angela treasured times with her many longtime friends and loved any chance to celebrate together at family reunions and summers in Maine.
The family will receive friends on Tuesday, April 18th from 10-11 AM at the Church of the Presentation in Upper Saddle River, NJ, followed by a Mass at 11 AM. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in Angela's name may be made to Doctors Without Borders, an organization she supported strongly, or Alzheimer's Association - Caregiver Support, as she was a caregiver herself.

I wish I could join you and spend time with all my wonderful cousins and their families and my uncle Effie. I loved Babe. She was just about as perfect a person as there could be. I spend time in Ramsey when I was young and she truly helped me grow up. Love and prayers to all, Sissy

My condolences to my cousins and Uncle Effie... I have very fond memories of our childhood trip to visit all of you in Upper Saddle River, so many years ago. Aunt Babe was always kind, gracious and welcoming. She will be dearly missed by all of you, I know. What a wonderful legacy though, so many experiences of the world and so many beautiful children and grandchildren.
I actively support the charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and will give a donation in honour of the lovely Aunt Babe.
my thoughts are with you.

My love and condolences go out to my cousins and their families. My Aunt Babe was a wonderful, witty and loving person. She carefully guarded her age which was a wonder to us all especially as younger kids! I will always remember the great O'Connor family reunions and look forward to getting together someday again to honor all our parents.
Love, Kathy O'Connor Benzaquin
