MARGARET O'CONNOR

Margaret "Peggy" Susan O'Connor, 89, passed away on 08/19/25 at her home in Redlands, CA. Peggy was a devout Catholic whose faith was evident in her rich prayer life and how she demonstrated and shared her Christian values. Peggy loved spending time with her family enjoying weekly dinners out, shopping trips with her daughters, and family vacations. She also found joy in nature, tending her garden, watching the birds and butterflies, and appreciating the cloud formations and the sunsets. Although she loved to spend time reading a good book, she was also fun-loving and hosted birthday and holiday celebrations where she always led games and trivia with fun prizes for the winners, was always up to visit the casino, and enjoyed a good happy hour. She gave generously to those in need and volunteered weekly for many years at the food bank for Interfaith Community Support (ICS) and served as a Catholic Daughter at St. Frances X Cabrini Catholic Church in Yucaipa. Peggy was predeceased by her husband of 56 years, Thomas O'Connor, her granddaughter, Tami, and her grandson, Tyler. She is survived by three daughters Lynda Tschudy, Kim Galloway (Chris), and Christie Jacques (Jake); two sons, Greg O'Connor (Katy) and Bryan O'Connor (Andrea); five grandchildren Jaycob, J.J., Angie (Alec), Adam, and Caden and two great-grandchildren Madyson and Wesley. Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, September 3, 2025 at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church, 115 W. Olive Ave, Redlands, CA. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Edmunite Missions, P.O. Box 2114, Selma, AL 36702-2114 (www.EdmunditeMissions.org) or to Interfaith Community Support of Yucaipa Valley, 12687 California Street, Yucaipa, CA 92399.
