I’m so sorry to hear about Mary Kay’s passing. I knew her through her dad, Bob O’Connell, whom I worked with.. Bob and Carol raised a beautiful family.
I know Mary Kay will be missed. At college she and I were roommates. .She was a fun gal. We continued to be roommates after her graduation. My sympathy to the entire family.
Condolences to you all.
My deepest condolences to Mary Kay’s family. I can’t express how much her icircle family will miss her. Mary Kay had such a presence in the call center and everyone that knew her enjoyed her singing, joking and the bigheartedness she brought each day. She was much too young and will be greatly missed.
I can see how much love surrounded Mary Kay whenever she was present. Her kind and witty spirit filled many empty spaces around people that knew her. Always a joyfulful gift and a wonderful memory to hold for comfort when a sweetheart goes to heaven.
Shocked and saddened by loss of my ‘oldest’ and most Irish friend. The world will be a little less bright without her shining eyes and infectious smile. She never failed to wish me a Happy St. Patrick’s Day and Happy Birthday every year for decades; I’ll miss that, and her sweet-natured spirit. Condolences to all. “Who, being loved, is poor?” Oscar Wilde….that being said, Mary Kay was very rich.
She was a very kind and sweet woman. She’s dearly missed. Condolences to her son, Peter, and all who loved her.
My sincere condolences to the O’Connell family. I remember Mary Kay as a kind, sweet soul.
Missing someone isnt about how long you’ve seen them ,or about how much time has lapsed since you last spoke, it’s about the moment you realize they are no longer there with you and wishing they were,
We will miss your very kind soul ,you are and always will be a sister to me ,
our deepest condolences
Rock on with the souls there before you, . . Godspeed Mary Kay.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Mary Kay & her family

Thinking of you again all day Mary Kay. – May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at you back. The sun shine warm upon your face, the rain fall softly upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
