| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Thursday, December 29, 2016 <<< Linda O’Connor, 76, a longtime Lake Havasu City resident, passed away quietly at home Dec. 20, 2016 with her devoted husband Jim at her side. Linda was born Sept. 6, 1940 in Los Angeles, and grew up in Banning, Calif. She married high school sweetheart John Sullivan. They had two children, Lesli Jo and John L. That marriage ended, and in 1973, she and husband Ron Betzler and her children moved to Havasu where her father was a Realtor for McCulloch Realty and was a part of the early development of the area. Linda was preceded in death by her parents Betty and Bob Fahy of Lake Havasu, brother Bob Fahy Jr. and daughter Lesli Sullivan (Brad) Meger. She is survived by her husband James O’Connor; son John L. (Siobhan) Sullivan of Caldwell, Idaho; sister Carol Mayer of Moab, Utah; 19 grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. Many longtime residents will remember Linda as the happy gal who drove a catering truck from 1974 to 2006, winter and summer for Scotty’s Catering. She was often seen during Havasu’s early years driving her dune buggy with her kids and dog on Mudshark Beach. Linda loved Havasu and the people in it and made a friend of everyone she met. Jim wishes to thank all the people who helped them as Linda’s health declined. There will be a memorial service at Our Lady of the Lake Roman Catholic Church in Lake Havasu City at a later date. Services were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home. Thoughts and condolences can be sent to the O’Connor family at www.lietz-frazefuneralhome.com. |
