Margaret "Maggi" Elizabeth O'Sullivan Parker Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Mar. 4 to Mar. 5, 2023.
Margaret "Maggi" Elizabeth Parker passed away, unexpectedly, in her sleep in the early afternoon hours of February 24, 2023. She is survived by her husband, David Allan Parker and her son, Samuel Allan O'Sullivan Parker. Other known surviving relatives are her first cousins - Richard VanScoy, Patti VanScoy, Beven Grant and JoAnne Tromp along with their spouses and children. Maggi was born in Waterbury Connecticut. Her parents were Richard Joseph O'Sullivan and Elizabeth Rose Lacondi.

Maggi moved to Florida along her parents and her brother, Michael in 1972. She lived in Maitland and later, Winter Park. She attended grade school in Maitland and finished high school at Winter Park High. She would move on to Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. She would soon be accepted to the Florida State School of Law.

After graduation and passing the Florida Bar, Maggi served the state of Florida in the Florida Department of Education, the Florida Public Service Commission [water], and returned to the Department of Education. She taught several semesters of education law at Florida State University.

Maggi left the Department of Education in order to take care of her deceased brother's affairs.

She would later take a job, doing contract legal work for the New York City Department of Education.

Maggi was a steadfast and considerate friend, a loving companion and a beloved wife and mother.

Donations to the Leon County [or any other] Humane Society, and the World Central Kitchen [Jose Andre] would be most appreciated in honor of Maggi's memory. This would please her most greatly.

I was so shocked and sorry to hear about Margaret's passing. I met her "virtually" through training for the NYC DOE job. She was so smart and caring, and she really went out of her way to connect with her coworkers even though we all worked remotely. Even though I only knew her a short time, we had a lot in common, and I thought we would meet up in person some day in Orlando or Tallahassee. I am so sorry for your loss.

I am still in disbelief of the loss of my cousin Margaret (as I still called her). We grew up very close as we were around the same age. We both shared the love of horses and it was so much fun visiting when we were young as we would ride together. I always thought how lucky she was to have her own horse. We had so much fun in that Maitland house...swimming every day, walking down to the school playground, and going to Jack 'n the Box and getting slurpee's at 7-11. I have not seen her in many years, which I regret! I know how much she loved her family dearly! She is now with them in heaven! She will be missed. My heart goes out to David and Sam!

Maggie and I talked about our horse adventures growing up. She was one of the most compassionate and caring persons I knew. I worked with her for several years and respected her opinions and views. She could talk to anyone about anything. Of course her family was her favorite thing to talk about. She will be missed greatly by many.

My dear cousin, whom I´ve known an entire lifetime - I am still reeling from the shock of losing you. I have so many memories from our youth, with visits to New York and Florida - and of course sharing our "Grampy John."
You had such a warm, welcoming presence. An intellect that I was often envious of. A shared love of music and the cosmos are memories I will always cherish.
So easy to love; you will remain in my heart forever.
Affectionally, your cousin Patti.

David and Sam, I´m absolutely heartbroken. Maggi was such a wonderful person, and I was among those privileged to call her a friend. I am so sorry you have lost your dear Maggi. Our world has lost a bright light.
