The obituary notice of Mary O'CONNOR

Very sorry to have lost my ‘Aunty Mary’. She was my Mum's best friend and integral to our family. RIP Aunty Mary and our condolences to Katy, Andrew and their families. X

Mary….Mary was the absolute definition of elegance, no matter the occasion, she was always beautifully presented. From her perfectly styled hair and manicured nails to her flawlessly coordinated outfits and jewellery, she was effortlessly glamorous inside and out…

Mary’s smile was infectious, and her capacity for fun was boundless…beyond the glamour, it was Mary’s spirit that made her truly stunning. She always had a smile on her face—a smile so bright and welcoming, even on the toughest of days…brave and strong.

Mary was always ready with a laugh, always in pursuit of a good joke, with the ability to make ordinary days feel like a celebration.

From the absolute chaos and laughter of monkeys pulling the wipers off the minibus at the safari park, perfect days out, eating fish and chips in Blackpool or wonderful evenings filled with a full house, 😳 bingo! glasses of Bailey’s, and non-stop laughter alongside her favorite friends.

Thank you Mary, thank you for introducing me to your beautiful family, for the style, the grace, and above all, the incredible fun we shared, you made the lives of others infinitely brighter, without tying, you will be missed beyond measure. You will continue to shine through your beautiful family, what a pleasure to share happy times with them, such a privilege. Night and bless lovely lady xx Trace

Mary will always hold a special place in my heart. Through my childhood and teenage years especially, she (and Kevin) always welcomed me warmly into the family home. Apart from my mum, Mary was the only other person who seemed to know every move that Katie and I made! Good job we were always well behaved! Thank you Mary for caring. Xx
Katie, Pete, Thomas, James & family - may your mum/nana rest in peace knowing how much you all loved her. X

It is, with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dear friend Mary. She was my wife's lifelong friend but also a treasured part of our family. Our families grew up together sharing life's joys, celebrations, challenges and precious memories over many years. She was a truly kind, supportive and loyal friend whose warmth and generosity touched everyone who knew her. Through good times and difficult times alike she was always there with unwavering friendship.
My thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with Katie, Andrew and families at this sad time.
Rest in peace dear Mary. God Bless. Tony Parsons

Aunty Mary was not my real auntie, but she was my Godmother and my late Mum’s best friend. Growing up in Congleton, our two families were incredibly close and Mary was a huge part of my life.

When my Mum was ill, Mary looked after me and supported me through some of the hardest days of my life. I will always be eternally grateful for the love, kindness and care she showed me. She was there during my Mum’s final days, offering the same love and support that only a devoted friend, mother and Godmother could give.

It meant so much to me to be able to return some of that love by inviting Mary and Katie to our wedding in 2015. It was a privilege to have them there to share such a special day with us. I was also proud to introduce Mary to my daughter Edie when she was born in 2017.

Sadly, I only have a small number of photos and videos to share, and I wish I had many more memories captured over the years.

Aunty Mary, I will miss you dearly. I take comfort in knowing that Mum has her best friend with her once again.

Thank you for everything.

Love,
Dan, Colette and family xxxx
