Elizabeth O'Regan Obituary

Elizabeth Marie O'Regan Surrounded by her loving family, Elizabeth passed away on March 20, 2007 at U.C.S.F. Medical Center. Born on August 3, 1943, she was proud of being a native San Franciscan and her Irish heritage. Elizabeth graduated from St. Emydius Grammar School, Mercy High School and obtained her bachelor degree from San Francisco State University. She was predeceased by her loving parents, William and Margaret (McSweeney) O'Regan to whom she was a devoted daughter. Elizabeth had a wonderful sense of humor. Friends benefited from her giving nature as an advisor and mentor to many going through the Twelve Step Program. Elizabeth is survived by her brother William O'Regan and sister-in-law Hope of San Rafael. She was godmother and aunt to Kevin O'Regan of Mill Valley; aunt to Erin Peoples of Greenbrae; great-aunt of Katie Peoples; and goddaughter of Julie Petrilli of San Francisco. The family wishes to express their gratitude to Elizabeth's doctors, nurses and caregivers who cared for her during her illness. A Memorial Service will be held Friday, March 30th at 10am at St. John of God Church, 1290 5th Ave, SF at Irving St. In lieu of flowers, the family prefers donations made in Elizabeth's name to the American Lung Assn. or charity of choice.

So sorry for your loss.
When we heard the news the other day.
We closed our eyes and began to pray.
It's that time in life when journies end.
We have lost our childhood friend.
We laughed, we cried, had a lot of firsts.
We helped each other thru the best and the worst.
We love you O'Reg; we have a date.
Keep um laughing till we meet you at the Pearly Gate.
Much love,
Geri Schneider and the Girls
