Obituary for Margaret M. "Peggy" O'Connor

Margaret M. “Peggy” (Dwyer) O'Connor, 87 years, of Milton, passed away peacefully on November 2, 2024 surrounded by her loving family at home.

Beloved wife to Austin F. O’Connor for 61 years. Devoted mother to Austin M. O’Connor (Mary) of Hingham, Kevin O’Connor (Tammy) of Lakeville, Caroline Walsh (John) of Milton and Sheila Taylor (Mark) of Milton. Doting grandmother to Carlie Pardini (Danny), Austin S. (Heather), Sarah, Brendan, Bridget O’Connor; Olivia, Jack, Connor (Haley), Eamon, Emily Walsh; Maeve, Maura, Molly O’Connor; AJ, Brooke and Nina Taylor. Cherished great grandmother to Elle, Liam and Jaxson Pardini.

Adored by many nieces and nephews. Peggy is predeceased by her parents, Pat and Helena “Lena” Dwyer and her granddaughter Siobhan Taylor.

Born Eyeries, Castletownbere, Co. Cork, Ireland Peggy arrived in Boston in 1957 and she lived on St. Gregory St., Dorchester with her aunt and uncle, Tim & Nora Driscoll, and her sister Maureen who led the way to the States from Ireland. She worked at Filene's in Boston and enjoyed Irish dances and the Gaelic games where she met Austin. Peggy was an integral part of helping Austin grow his business – The Briar Group and Kinvara Property Management. Peggy was a devout Catholic bringing those values to her family and friends. She was a devoted wife & mother. Her grandchildren were her passion, and she lovingly spoiled them all. Peggy enjoyed traveling with family and friends. She especially enjoyed Pompano Beach,FL and Newport, RI where she took up playing golf. We are grateful for the love and care she received by her caregivers which allowed her to remain at home.

I hold cherished memories of Peggy ( & Austin) visiting my family in Eyeries as a child and beyond. We would light up when Peggy visited, always with lovely treats for us as kids.

    Peggy often drove my mother to doctors appointments and on other errands through St. Agatha's outreach to senior citizens who no longer drove. My mother looked forward to these trips because of Peggy's outgoing personality, zest for life , and sense of humor. She brightened my mother's days at a time when old age was limiting her activities. You must be grateful fir her kindness and love of family. My mother enjoyed all the news about your family's many adventures. We were grateful for her efforts on my mother's behalf. REQUIESCAT IN PACE, PEGGY! Mary Flynn
