Theresa Gertrude Colbert O'Connor, 1911 – 2004
My grandmother died this morning. She turned 93 last Wednesday.
Nina1, circa 1985.
The wake is from 4 to 8 PM on Sunday at Keefe's on Mass Av in North Cambridge. The funeral is at 10 AM the next morning at St. John the Evangelist across the street, with a reception following the burial at the Sheraton Commander on Garden Street. (Keefe's has an online condolences site thingy.)
Several photos from her life over the years

was the head secretary of the Cambridge
Recreation Department for many, many years.
Nina and I at my cousin Danny's wedding. Incidentally, this is where one of my lj userpics came from.
Notes
-
When my cousin Eddie (her first grandchild) was a kid, his
mother tried to get him to call his grandmother Nana, but for
some child-language-development reason which
kirinqueen might be able to clarify he couldn't quite say it, so he called her Nina. It stuck, and that's how she's known to her 7 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. ↩
