Sandra Jane O'Connor

Sandra Jane O'Connor, (Currier, formerly Wyder), 77, passed away peacefully on August 16, 2026, following a brief illness at Fiddler's Home Nursing Home in Springville, where she had resided since 2020.

Born on August 13, 1949, in Batavia, New York, Sandra was raised in Oakfield and attended Oakfield schools. She was the daughter of the late Betty and Archie Currier. Sandra was predeceased by her loving husband, Mark O'Connor, of Clarence, with whom she shared 20 wonderful years of marriage.

Sandra had a remarkable and dedicated work ethic. Notably, she was among the small percentage of individuals living with schizophrenia who successfully maintained a full career throughout her entire life-an incredible achievement that filled her loving family, especially her daughter Lisa, with immense pride. Professionally, she served as the sole printer for both Genesee Memorial Hospital and St. Jerome's Hospital in Batavia. After moving to Florida for a time with her husband Mark, she worked in customer service for Walmart. Upon returning to New York, she continued her dedicated service at Walmart until her retirement, after which she resided at the Cloisters in Akron.

Sandra is preceded in death by her parents, Betty and Archie Currier, and her beloved daughter, Christine Wyder.

She is survived by her daughter, Lisa Way and Lisa's children, Aaron Way, Rachel Otzelberger (Way), Katherine Clemm (Way) and her husband, Jeffrey Clemm, along with their children, Allyson Brennan, Olivia, and Dylan; children of her late daughter Christine, Melissa Piazza, Nathan Piazza, Shannon Cervone, and Sean Cervone; brothers,Cliff Currier (wife Leslie) and Gerald Currier (wife Mary Ann) and numerous surviving nieces, nephews and cousins.
