Sister Mary of the Angels died at 8:45 pm Saturday, October 28, 2017, at the Monastery of the Poor Clares after suffering patiently with a long illness. Mary Louise O’Connor was born November 10, 1929, the daughter of Timothy Patrick O’Connor and Margaret Cecilia (Kelly) O’Connor in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She was the youngest of three children.
Sister Mary attended Elizabeth Seton High School and graduated from Seton Hill College with a B.A. in Psychology. She entered the Poor Clare Monastery in Cleveland, OH, on October 23, 1953, and received the name Sister Mary of the Angels at her Investiture on October 24, 1954.

In 1961, she came to help the fledgling community in Kokomo in various ways and transferred permanently in 1967. She generously served the community as novice mistress, vicaress, and abbess.
She is survived by two nephews and three nieces as well as two grandnieces and a grandnephew.
She was preceded in death by her parents, and her brothers, Rev. Robert O’Connor, and Donald O’Connor.
