Dear O'Connor Family,
On behalf of the Dumphy Family of Shrewsbury...we wish to extend our condolences to all of you. We have such wonderful memories from our childhood of your parents and especially your Mom. Our days at St. Mary's school, St John's High school, Notre Dame High School, play dates at the Prospect St. house, and many mutual family gatherings with friends and neighbors are all times we can fondly remember. Our mothers were great friends and shared a love for the Sisters of Notre Dame. We know your loss well. The sadness and deep sense of loss overwhelm you now but will in time be replaced with good memories and a sense of peace. We will keep you in our prayers and honor her legacy with a donation to her Little Wanderers. At this unusual time in history and no ability to reach out in person...we will save that for another time and hope you will let us know if there is a Mass in her memory in the future. Take care.
Sincerely, Mary, AnneMarie, Bud, and Tricia Dumphy

To the O'Conner family,

So sorry fir your loss of your beautiful mom. She was so good to my mom when she was sick. I plant flowers at the family grave every Memorial weekend. I go up every day and water. I frequently ran into your mom walking. She told me she would stop by to say hi to Frank. She was a gem!

Our deepest sympathy to the O'Connor family from the Harlow family. I always will remember Ann as a very kind woman. I used to see her frequently in Mountain View, visiting your dad and prepping for knee surgery. She would always be thrilled to see me and would always take the time to chat and ask about our family. My father in law, Ray used to bring my son, Brad to see Ann in Halloween and loved to surprise her with a costume or mask himself. She was always delighted to see them. A wonderful woman who did so much while she was on Earth. May she now visit with her dear husband and Rest In Peace.

I want to extend my sympathy to all the O'Connor family regarding the passing of Mrs. O'Connor.

What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful lady! We were very saddened to hear about the loss of your mom. Ann was one of the first neighbors we met and was so welcoming. She invited us into her home, poured us a glass of wine and took us on a tour of the many family photos displayed lovingly and proudly. Often times while walking or driving through the neighborhood, Ann would stop and we would chat. She always had a story or a kind word to share. Her grace, wisdom, and guidance will be missed.

With deepest sympathy,
The Ferguson's

Kathy and I would like to say how blessed and honored we feel to have known and be able to call Ann our friend. Ann's life was an example to all of us that knew her. She was a person of deep faith, a caring loving personality and wonderful compassionate mother to her family and friends. Ann's radiant personality was always visible to all lucky enough to know her. She will truly be missed, but not forgotten. Because of our faith we know she is home in heaven with her wonderful husband Frank, family and friends.

Dear O'Connor Family. So sorry for your loss. I was in Maureen's Class at St Mary's and later at the high school. I do remember the wraparound porch at the house on Prospect Street when I went over to play . It was magical and oh so big to me. And I remember Mrs O'Connor always busy, welcoming and smiling. I am certain her bright, intelligent and giving ways will live on via her family members. She was a gift to all. God bless and I will pray for all of you.

Ann O'Connor was a very good friend to my mother, Mary Jane; especially after Dad passed away. I would see her every once in a while when dropping off a birthday cake at her home. She was always so unbelievably nice and it was obvious how much she loved God and her family; not necessarily in that order. May she now rest in peace knowing that she fought the good fight, finished the race, and she kept the faith.

I was saddened to read of your Mom's passing.
Time spent with your Mom,and Dad were without equal.
How many cumulative miles traveled, 300 yards at a time,home to St Mary's on a daily basis? A world's record to be sure.

A life model not so easily followed.

Mrs.OConner was truly an inspiration to me. The fondest memories I have as a teenager is being at your home on Prospect St. Later in life I was with Ann everyday at Mass. She always had a kind word for me. I will miss your mom dearly but I know she's with her beloved husband. Ann's faith has shaped my own. May God Bless all of you. Love Gina

My condolences to the entire O'Connor family on the loss of your Mom. She was such a light in the community. I would see her from time to time on visits back to Shrewsbury and she always remembered me and had kind words to say. Memories of the times spent at the house on Prospect St, tennis tournaments in the back yard and the time she and your Dad loaned us the camper for the weekend. She is watching over you in her special place accompanied by Frank and others gone before her. You are held in prayer during this time of great loss. Blessings & Peace,

Dear Ann's family,
I was heartbroken when I learned about the loss of your mom. I met Ann and knew her during the time she lived at Notre Dame. I always enjoyed bumping into her when I visited my mom (Fran Leahy) because she was so friendly and seemed genuinely happy to see me (but I think that is how she made everyone feel, important). Her warm manner and sweet words always put a smile on my face. I will miss seeing your beautiful mother at ND. Thinking and praying for Ann's family and close friends.
With Love,
Monica Gow
