CONNOLLY, Shirley

Shirley Connolly (O’Grady)
1935- 2021
It is with profound sadness that the family announces the passing of our beloved mother, Shirley Catherine Connolly (O’Grady). Predeceased by her husband Con, daughter Mary, son Kelly and by her parents, MJ and Nellie O’Grady, and her brothers Terry and Frank. Left to mourn her passing are her children; Cathy Wendorf (John), Martin (Maxine), Colleen Guertin (Don), Paddi, Cheryl Wojtus (Ken), and Kevin (Patti).
Mom leaves behind her brother Brian and her sister Sheila Longo (Dino). She had 16 grandchildren, whom she was especially proud of; Katrina and Ryan, Marcus and Marissa, Alexandria and Katelyn, Leanna, Richard, Kayla and Justice, Shea and Maddison, Megan, Samantha, Sarah, and Mitchell.
She also leaves behind many great-grandchildren. Mom was born on June 21, 1935, in Charlton (Savard Township). She was the eldest of 5 children. The greatest joy in her life was her family. She had an unshakeable faith that helped her through many hardships in her life. She always said that if she had her life to live over, she would not change a thing. She loved a good party and stayed until the end as she was always afraid that she might miss something. Shirley was a proud and long-standing member of the Catholic Woman’s League.
Mom’s passing will leave a huge void in so many lives. We take comfort in knowing that she is in heaven in the arms of all of the loved ones that went before her.
Until we meet again
A light from our lives has gone
A voice we loved is still
A place is vacant within our hearts, which never can be filled
A bouquet of beautiful memories sprayed with a million tears
I wish God would have spared you if just for a few more years
We hold you close within our hearts, and there you will remain
To walk with us through our lives until we meet again
So rest in peace and thanks for all you have done
We pray that God has given you the crown you have truly won
Your vacant place no one can fill
We miss you now and always will
There will be a private family service.
