Betty Jo Baker (O'Connor), age 76, of Royal Oak, passed away on December 30, 2021. Beloved mother of Michael (Leeann) O'Connor, Christopher (Angie) O'Connor, Teresa (Michael) McGhee, and Thomas (fiance Christina) O'Connor. Proud grandmother of Katherine, Megan, Brandon, Kristina, Nicole, and Lliam. Dear sister of Jean Phipps, Joyce Chadwick, Joannie Saber, Colleen McGowan, Peggy Giancola and Sister-in-law Brigitte. Also survived by many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Preceded in death by her parents, Alfred and Margaret Allen; and her brothers, Gerald and Alfred Allen; and her ex-husband, Ronald O'Connor. Betty graduated from Dondero High School in 1963. In her free time, she loved, reading, collecting dolls, and finding great bargains at garage and rummage sales. She was particularly fond of animals-especially birds-and she took great pride in her two cockatiels that she cared for. Above all else though, Betty enjoyed spending time with her family-especially her grandchildren and sisters. Betty was deeply loved by her family and will be dearly missed.
