Estelle R. O’Meara

Beloved mother, grandmother and friend;

Estelle R. (Paquette) O’Meara, 85, a member of a well known Lowell family, died Sunday morning at the Merrimack Valley Hospice House surrounded by her loving family.

She was the wife of the late George F. O’Meara, Jr. who died in 1989.

Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, January 26, 1931, the daughter of the late Philip and the late Rita (Landry) Paquette, she attended St. Louis School and was a graduate of Lowell High School.

Later, she transitioned over to U/Mass Lowell where she served as a secretary to the Vice President of Administration and Finance for over 15 years until her retirement.

A communicant of the Immaculate Conception Church, Estelle was a former longtime member of the Immaculate Conception Choir who performed in Rome during her tenure.

An amateur painter and artist, her greatest joy was the time she spent with her family.

    Mark and family, Patty and I extend our deepest sympathy on the loss of your wonderful mother, Estelle. We are so sorry that we were not able to get by the Mass but wanted you to know much we thought of your mom. She was a wonderful woman and was always so gracious to us when we were first learning the political landscape with your dad in the 1970s. Please know that she is in our prayers. Frank and Patty
