John J. O'Connell Jr. Obituary
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of John J. O'Connell Jr. (Dubuque, Iowa), born in Chicago, Illinois, who passed away on February 18, 2023, at the age of 83, leaving to mourn family and friends. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, John O'Connell and Mary O'Connell (Boyle); his children, Kathleen Roseboom (Patrick), John O'Connell III (Marcia McCormick), Maureen Sattan (Michael), Sheila Berkley (Keith) and Megan Cox (Matt); his grandchildren, Rachael, Ryan, Erin, Morgan, Ceridwen, Rhiannon, Michael, Stephen, Nicholas, Makenna, Alex, Sam, Calista, Will, Nora and Eliza; and his sister Kathy Marsh (Bob) of Manassas, VA..
In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes copious amounts of booze and chocolates -- we recently ran out after Mom's funeral five years ago. For those of you that are more charitably inclined, please consider a donation to Opening Doors, a Dubuque non-profit that empowers the lives of homeless women and children at Maria House, Teresa Shelter and Francis Apartments.
