CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Margaret Thomas Connor peacefully went home to our Lord Dec. 4, 2014, while in the loving care of the angels at Orchard Park Assisted Living in Clearlake.

She was born in Canon City, Colorado, on April 19, 1922, and moved to Southern California at the age of 2.

She met and married her husband of 52 years, Charles Connor, while working at Pacific Aeromotive as a “Rosie the Riveter” during World War II. They started a family and raised two daughters and settled in Glendora, Calif.

The Connors started spending their summers at Clear Lake in Northern California in 1952 and retired there in 1974.

Margaret was a very active member of the Lake County Historical Society, and the co-founder of the Lake County Redbud Audubon Society, which she started in her living room.

She was an accomplished organist and was active, not only in her organ club, but also in the Sweet Adeline's singing group.

She loved to fish, camp, tend her yard and enjoyed wood working and the outdoors. She started painting in the 1970s and did so for many years.

Margaret is survived by her two loving daughters, Charlotte Connor of Glendora and Peg McCown and her husband Don McCown of Lakeport.

Memorial services will be announced.
