Obituary of Fran O’Connor
It is with sadness the family announces the passing of Frances “Fran” O’Connor, 82, of Springdale on May 16, 2021 at the Sus Health Center. Born in Saint John, Fran was a daughter to the late Frank & Belle (Clancey) Perkins.
Fran worked many clerical positions during her career including Daniels Insurance and The Department of Public Works in Saint John to her later years at The Sus Health Centre, from where she retired in 1999. Fran was a member of St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church in Sus. After retirement Mom enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her Grandchildren, who loved to visit and enjoy her homemade chocolate chip cookies, pancakes, biscuits, apple pie and pumpkin pie. When not visiting with family, she could be found working on her many crafts including tole painting and quilting.
Fran is survived and sadly missed by her daughters, Catherine O’Connor of Saint John and Carolyn (Peter) Ritchie of Smith’s Creek; her son, Christopher O’Connor of Saint John; her brother, Vincent (Dawn) Perkins of Saint John; her sisters, Donna Gorman of Fredericton and Wendy (Jeff) Erb of Calgary; her grandchildren: Ashley (Chad), Andrew (Catherine), Hannah (Liam) and Matthew; her great grandchildren: Hailey, Sadie, Liam, Claire, Walker, Emily and many well loved extended family members.
