Sally’s life centered around her church, faith, family and friends. However, she was also a long-time, die-hard, suffering Mets fan. Even on the last day of the season with the Mets well out of contention by 20 games or more, she would be cheering as if they were in first place. She loved her trips to Atlantic City and her visits to her financial adviser (otherwise known as a lottery ticket dealer) to make her investments.

Sally is survived by her husband, Paul A. O’Hare; four children, Mary White and her husband, Charlie; Paul O’Hare and his wife, Marie; John O’Hare and his wife, Maureen and Michael O’Hare and his wife, Sandra; her niece, Joan McLaughlin and her husband, Kevin.

She was the great-grandmother of Vivian and Charlie White.

In 1963, Sally gave birth to a still born child who she and Paul named Frances Margaret “Maggy” O’Hare.

In lieu of flowers, Sally requested Masses said for her or donations to the St. Cecilia Food Pantry, 120 Kearny Ave., Kearny, N.J. 07032 or to St. John’s Soup Kitchen, 871 McCarter Highway, Newark, N.J. 07102.
