Angela M. O'Connor Obituary
Angela M. (Mohr) O'Connor, 64 of Gloucester, MA, formerly of Rockport, MA, passed away suddenly on Wednesday, March 23, 2022, at Addison Gilbert Hospital.
She was born in Arlington, Massachusetts, on July 10, 1957, daughter of the late Max and Elena (Lucas) Mohr.
Angela was a graduate of Rockport High School, served as Vice President for the Class of 1975, and later received her bachelor's degree in political science from University of Massachusetts, Boston.
Tireless, motivated, and passionate about her career, Angie worked as the President of the New England Power Generators Association from 2005 to 2011. Most recently, she served in Governor Charlie Baker's Administration as the Deputy Commissioner for Public Utilities from 2015 to 2019. She influenced and guided many throughout her time in these and all her previous positions and left her indelible mark on each.
Though passionate about her vocation, there was no greater joy than spending time with her family, especially her granddaughters on her beloved Rocky Neck. Angie loved spending time with "her girls" and watching them grow. She always surrounded herself with family, friends, and neighbors.
She loved cooking for everyone, sharing stories, and passionate talks about everything. Her love ran deep for all that she knew. An incredible mother, she was also Nana, friend, and "favorite Auntie Angie." Angie always cared deeply and loved fiercely; she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
