Susan O'Connell (Sue)
Hatboro - Susan O'Connell (Sue), 66, of Hatboro, PA passed away suddenly on Easter Sunday, April 4, 2021. Sue was born in Abington Hospital to Richard J. O'Connell and Mary McAndrew O'Connell on March 26, 1955. She was a 1974 graduate of Archbishop Wood High School in Warminster, PA. She earned an Associate Degree from Penn State University in 1976. Sue worked at Prudential Insurance for 30 years before she retired from full-time employment. Following her retirement, she began working at Furlong Lamp and Lighting, where she continued to be employed until her death.
Sue is survived by her brother Rich (Colleen), sisters Leslie O'Connell and Maureen Yanoshik (Joe), and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Sue is also survived by her many faithful friends, including Donna, Sally, Josie, Mary, Tom, and Maria. In addition to her family and friends, Sue will be greatly missed by her dog, Coco.
Sue was a beautiful person who cared deeply about her family and friends. She had a deep Christian faith and always looked for the good in everyone. Sue was fun loving, had a great sense of humor and was usually the life of the party. She was the epitome of a true Irish storyteller. Whenever she told a story, she would have everyone on the edge of their seat one minute and then, in the next minute, have them doubling over with laughter. She also had a beautiful singing voice, participated in the choir at Daylesford Abbey for many years and often entertained her friends at various Karaoke events.
Sue loved to travel with her sisters and her cousin, Kelli. Her travels took her to far way countries/cities like Israel, Rome, Ireland, Paris, London and Brussels to closer places like, Hilton Head Island (she was a proud member of the Buoy Babes!) and the coasts of California and Florida. Sue always looked forward to her annual summer vacation in Stone Harbor.
Relatives and friends may greet the family Saturday, April 10th, 9:00 AM at St. Joseph's Church, 1795 Columbia Ave., Warrington, PA (corner of Rte. 611 and County Line Road). Her funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:30 AM. Interment will follow at St. John Neumann Cemetery in Chalfont. Louis Swift Plunkett Funeral Home, Hatboro.

Sue was always a pleasure to be around, had the biggest heart and truly was the life of the party. I will never forget going to NYC with Sue and Kelli to see a broadway show. After the show we went to a bar with a mechanical bull... Sue insisted we all go on it and I must say we had the best time and endless laughter. We also went to Richies a few times for drinks and karaoke. I will never forget when she got up there and sang "What's Up?", I was blown away and had no idea she had such a beautiful singing voice. Sue, thank you for all of the great memories; you will be missed dearly. xo

My dear friend, you will be greatly missed. You were the life of the party & always made everyone laugh. We've shared so many memories of the many years we known each other. I will miss our phone calls reminiscing of past years. My dear friend I love you & will miss you.

Sue had the ability to make me laugh at the most inappropriate times. She took advantage of this often, to my chagrin and amusement.
Sue often pranked us and we pranked her back. “Back in the day,” Sue and I would compete to outdo each other by providing “unique” birthday experiences. One year she took me to a restaurant that was literally a shack. It had about 6 tables. She had arranged for friends to be randomly hitching rides along the way.
Another time Tom and I blindfolded her and drove her around in circles. We had posted a sign on the back of the car that said, “Say ‘Happy Birthday to the girl in the back seat.” She could not figure out why all sorts of people were honking and shouting. Then Tom spontaneously decided to stop at his cousin’s house to confuse Sue more. Turns out they were having a kids’ birthday party! When we took Sue in and everyone shouted, “Happy Birthday!!!”, She looked around and said, “Who are you people?” It was hilarious.
Sue’s now in Heaven, dancing it up with Terry McD, other loved ones, and the “I’ll never see these people again” people.
Happy heavenly Birthday, Sue! Dance your heart out!

The news of Sue’s passing was very sad. Our prayers and thoughts are with her family especially during this time. Sue and I had gone to Israel and Italy together and we had a blast. The best was Sue digging her fingers into me as the driver was traveling fast up windy steep roads. I can still picture the moment. We had many great times together and she will be missed. Love and prayers, John and Denise O’Driscoll
