Ida Conlon Obituary

Ida Catherine (Murphy) Conlon

September 4th, 1922 to June 2nd 2017

The Matriarch of the Murphy Family, Ida Conlon has passed away peacefully. Preceded in death by her husband Charlie Conlon, sisters Josephine O'Leary (Larry), Anna Mae Murphy, & Patricia Long (John), and her nephew Robert Newsom.
She is survived by loving nieces Joanne Newsom, & Terry Long-Mullaney (Mike.) Loved by grandnieces and nephews Rob Newsom Jr. (Jen), Danny Newsom (Andrea), Chrissy & Katie Newsom and Chris & Ryan Mullaney. She will be missed by her great grandnieces Keely, Maeve, & Mara Newsom, and great grandnephew Juan.
Ida worked for the City Attorney's office where she met her husband Charlie Conlon. After they married, she worked for over 30 years in Charlie's Pharmacy (Conlon's Drugstore on Judah St.). As Charlie greeted & held court with customers Ida worked behind the counter. Together they made a great team. They were regulars at Joe's of Westlake every night after they closed the drugstore. Ida was a member of St. Stephen's Women's Guild, Little Sister's of the Poor, and the Doelger Center.
The family would like to thank caregiver's Chrissy Newsom and Fei Taufatofua, and all of the nurses at Coming Home Hospice for their loving care of Ida. You are our angels! Many thanks for the support of our family- The Newsoms, Nortons, Emerys, Hances, Kerleys, Brownes, and all of Joanne & Terry's friends.

Ida really was the matriarch of the family!
I grew up very close to the family and have fond memories of the many celebrations they had. Ida, Anna Mae, Josephine and especially Pat were all like second mothers to me. So sorry to see Ida go. But she had a good, long life and we have many memories to share.
