Kathleen M. O'Connor, age 67, of White Oak, died February 10, 2023, at UPMC East. Born January 18, 1956, in McKeesport, she was the daughter of the late Robert and Pauline (Ehrhardt) O'Connor.

Kathleen was a retired Manager from the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. She was a member of Life Church in Greensburg and a member of the Norwin Art League. She also volunteered every Wednesday at the church for the food pantry. Kathleen was a lover of art and fashion and enjoyed passing that on to her granddaughter Rylie. She also enjoyed painting and tending to the flowers in her garden. She loved her dog Meineke who will be lost without her. Most importantly, Kathleen loved her grandkids. They were her motivation in life. She loved spending every minute she could with them. You could always find her at whatever sport or activity they were involved in. She would be the one cheering the loudest. Kathleen had a great sense of humor and took pride in playfully embarrassing the grandkids. Everyone knew Kieffer’s grandma, and if you knew her, you loved her. Kathleen is survived by her sons, Robert Kieffer and Ryan (Jan) Kieffer; grandchildren, Octavia (Courtney), Nathan, Connor, and Rylie Kieffer; siblings, Ron O'Connor, Kevin O'Connor, Karin (Bob) Leonard, Beth O'Connor, and Todd (Jessica) O'Connor; nieces, Stephanie (David) Hood and Lacie (Wolfgang) Bader; nephew, Sean O'Connor; ex-husband, Barry (Nancy)Kieffer. Family and friends will be received at Willig Funeral Home & Crematory on Wednesday from 4 to 8 p.m. The funeral service will be held on Thursday at 10 a.m. in the funeral home chapel. Interment will follow at McKeesport & Versailles Cemetery. Condolences and memories may be shared at www.willigfuneralcremationservices.com.
