ANN O'CONNOR Obituary
Ann married the love of her life, Chris E. O'Connor, Jr. while in college in San Antonio, TX. Following the marriage, they moved to Lawton, OK where all six of their children were born. While in Lawton, Ann was a founding member of St. Barbara Catholic Church.
Her children were the light of her life. They describe her as the most unconditionally loving mother possessing a laugh that brightens all around her. She was a lifelong learner and a voracious reader. A talented seamstress and crafter, she lovingly created clothing, crocheted throws, and handcrafted holiday decorations for her family.
In 1975, Ann and her family moved to Hampton where she was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church. In 2018, they moved to Yorktown to be closer to several of their children. She and Chris are members of St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church.
Ann was a loving and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She is survived by her husband of 65 years Chris E. O'Connor, Jr. and her children, Mary Jane O'Connor of Salt Lake City, UT and Eileen O'Connor of Hampton, Chris O'Connor, III (Colleen) of Yorktown, Michael "Mickey" O'Connor (Laura) Yorktown, Dennis O'Connor (Joseph Lennon) New York and Kevin O'Connor (Lisa) of St Petersburg, FL; three sisters, Dr. Helen Hazuda of San Antonio, TX, Mary Hazuda of Carrollton, TX and Mary Elaine Webster (John) Olympia, WA. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Chris O'Connor, IV (Beth) of Burke, VA, Colin O'Connor (Liz) of Sterling Heights, MI, Kathryn Ford (Ryan) of Yorktown, Laura Elizabeth O'Connor of Yorktown, Mary O'Connor of Virginia Beach, Max Ririe, Erik Ririe (Tiana) and Alex Ririe all of Salt Lake City, and Maris Johannsen (Jessica Kubiseck) St. Petersburg, FL and five great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, Dolores and Alex Hazuda, and brother Alex Hazuda, Jr.

A Mass will be celebrated on Wednesday, February 17, 2021 at 1:00 PM in St Joan of Arc Catholic Church.

So sorry to read of the passing of your wife and mother. She was well-known throughout the Colonial Acres neighborhood and I have warm memories of her hospitality from my days at Kecoughtan with Dennis and Mary Jane. May God comfort you in your grief. I hope that happy memories will get you through. Dennis, if you feel like emailing sometime, I am on the staff page at Kecoughtan. Praying for you all.

What a wonderful friend and faithful Catholic! We enjoyed knowing both Ann and Chris during our 30 years of living in Hampton, VA. She will certainly be missed by Chris and family but all heaven is singing "alleluia" because Ann has come home!
With our thoughts & prayers, Madge and Chuck Diaz, Spring, TX.
