Margaret O'Rourke Obituary

January 24, 1934 - October 15, 2021 Staten Island native, born and raised in Stapleton Margaret Mary O'Rourke (aka Mrs. Sabino) died peacefully in her sleep. She was 87 years old. She is survived by her 6 daughters; Regina Sabino, Jacqueline Montalto, Margaret Coursen, Patricia Sabino, Colleen Gardner & Louisa Sabino. She is also survived by 15 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. She had many nieces, nephews, cousins & friends who all called her Zarze. Margaret was pre-deceased by her siblings John J. O'Rourke, Patricia (Patsy) Kelly, Thomas H. O'Rourke, and Reverend Terrence J. O'Rourke O.S.A. and her son Ronald J Sabino. Ms. O'Rourke retired in 1996 after a 22-year career as a betting clerk with NYC Off-Track Betting Corp. There will be no formal service at this time. She would appreciate Masses said in her memory. If you are so inclined, raise a glass in her memory and in celebration of her life. To Our Mother: May joy and peace surround you, contentment latch your door, and happiness be with you now and bless you evermore.

My dear Aunt Zarze, you played such an important part in my life. Growing up next door to you for 23 years, playing in your home with Regina, helping with your little ones, coming home to find you (my Dad's birthday present for his 4th birthday) & my Dad drinking coffee was such a HUGE part of my life. I loved you always, enjoyed your company, & will miss you forever. The doors between our houses were always open & our yards communal. I could always speak openly to you & get honesty in return. May you be welcomed in heave by your big brother Jackie, waiting with a hot pot of coffee & a piece of my Mom's apple pie. Peace & well deserved rest to you for all eternity. I am sure the whole clan is waiting to greet you with our loss is their gain.

Rest in peace Zarze, I was practically another one of your kids, like so many other kids from the neighborhood who called your house a 2nd home. So many memories eating pizza and sitting on the front steps. I'm happy to call your family life-long friends.
