Judith Levine O’Connor
O’CONNOR: Judith Levine O’Connor, age 79, wife of 42 years to the late Mayor Bob O’Connor. Survived by their children, Heidy O’Connor Garth (David Kadosh), Father Terrence O’Connor, and Allegheny County Controller Corey O’Connor and his wife Katie. Judy was the daughter of the late Joseph Levine, and the late Joseph and Evelyn Klemp. Survived by her brothers Larry (Pam) Levine, Buddy Klemp, and brother-in-law Jake Pelled. Her sister, Deedee Klemp Pelled, predeceased her. Bubbie to Kennedy, McKenzie, and Delaney Garth, Molly and Emmett O’Connor, and great granddaughter Chavie Hart. Judy is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Judy’s unparalleled love for life was evident wherever she went, including walking the streets of Squirrel Hill, assisting on the campaign trail, and hosting the annual Bob O’Connor Cookie Cruise. Her heroic fight against ALS will inspire others for years to come. However, Judy’s most important accomplishment was being an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, sister, and friend to all. She loved hosting the holidays and family celebrations, and going to Wildwood, NJ. Judy will be greatly missed by all. Services were held at Ralph Schugar Chapel Inc. Interment Calvary Cemetery.
