The family of Agnes Winnifred O’Connor
“Aggie” are saddened to announce the death of their mother,
grandmother, and great-grandmother on April 5, 2022 in Guysborough at
the age of 90. She was born to the late Edward and Mary (Kelly) White
on December 2, 1931 in Salmon River/Erinville, Guysborough County. She
married Bernard J. O’Connor in 1954. She is survived by 12
children; Rev. Anthony O’Connor, Kevin (Theresa), Bernadette
(Ervin) Murray, John (Mary Lou), Ronnie (late Terra), Gerald, Brian
(Dale), Maureen (Paul) Long, Carol Ann (Paul) Snider, Michael (Laura),
Danny (Janet), and Glenn (Vanessa).
She was very proud of her 33 grandchildren and will be dearly

In her early years she worked as a telephone operator
and these skills served her well as the center of family
communications.
With a large family and lots of work on the family farm, she
still found time for much volunteer work, such as 4H leader and
palliative care volunteer. She served as a member of the St.
Patrick’s Altar Society, liturgy, and religious education
committees. She also received a life membership from the Guysborough
Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. She was proud of her wreath making skills
and generously donated them.
She is survived by her sister Mary Margaret Maynard,
sisters-in-law, Marguerite White, Josie O’Connor, Betty
(Sam) Crowshaw, and brother-in-law Kenneth Connolly. She was
predeceased by her husband Bernard in 1989, brother Rich White, sister
Anne Fraser, sisters-in-law Evelyn O’Connor, Margaret
Connolly, Kay Fitzpatrick, and brothers-in-law Dave, John, Joe,
Lawrence O’Connor, Donald Fraser, and Bob Fitzpatrick.
