Georgia O’Connell 1954-2022

Georgia was born Jan. 1, 1954, in Youngstown, the daughter of William and Dorothy Ryan Cozadd. She was a 1972 graduate of McDonald High School and worked at Youngstown Orthopedic Association in Boardman as the head of scheduling. She enjoyed sewing, reading, shopping and loved her ice cream.

Her greatest love was that of her family. She enjoyed any time she could spend with her daughter, son-in-law and granddaughters.

She leaves to cherish her memory, her daughter, Melissa “Missy” and husband, Nick (her Nicky) O’Connell of McDonald; grandchildren, Hailey of Louisiana (her Hailey Elizabeth, whose achievement of a recent BSN, RN was a source of great pride) and fiance Mark (her boy Marky), and Ayleesh Dorren (her baby girl, whose dancing gave her great joy); and many many loving cousins, nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Harry L. O’Connell Jr., who passed Dec. 19, 2021 — they had been together since they were both 15 years old, and married Sept. 14, 1972.

She was also preceded in death by her sisters, Bonnie Paden and Sally Hanshaw.

A celebration of life for Georgia and Harry will be held at a later date.
