O’CONNELL, FATHER WILLIAM A., S.M. 1927-2012 Father William Arthur O’Connell,

S.M., passed to eternity on October 1, 2012, at the Marianist Center, Cupertino, CA, at the age of

85. He was a vowed member of the Society of Mary (Marianists) for 66 years. Born May 27,

1927, in Oakland, CA, to Lawrence G. and Marguerite McNamara O’Connell, he was the

younger of their two sons. Baptized and confirmed in St. Margaret Mary Church in Oakland, he

received his elementary school education in local parish schools. Following in the footsteps of

his older brother he attended St. Joseph High School, Alameda, CA, and graduated in 1946. It

was at St. Joseph High that he became acquainted with the Marianist Brothers and priests. After

graduation from high school he entered the Marianist novitiate at Beacon, NY, where he

professed vows for the first time in August of 1947. In 1951, he professed perpetual vows as a

Marianist in Santa Cruz, CA. When Brother William completed the bachelor’s degree at the

University of Dayton in Ohio, he taught for several years at St. James Boys’ Elementary School,

San Francisco, and at Joseph High School, Alameda. Theological studies for the priesthood

followed at the Marianist International Seminary, Fribourg, Switzerland, where he was ordained

a priest in 1956. Upon returning to California Father William completed a master’s degree from

the University of Portland in Oregon in 1963 while serving as a high school teacher and chaplain

at Riordan in San Francisco, Serra in Gardena, CA, and Chaminade in West Hills, CA. The

seasoned educator became high school principal at Riordan, San Francisco, and St. Louis,

Honolulu, HI, and also had been pastor at St. Anthony’s Parish in Wailuku, Maui, HI. In later

years he directed the Newman Center at the University of California at Santa Cruz, CA, and then

served for many years as the superior of his religious community at Marianist Hall in Honolulu.

Retirement brought him to Villa St. Joseph and the Marianist Center in Cupertino in 2006. Father

William O’Connell is survived by his brother and sister-in-law, Lawrence and Fern O’Connell of

Moraga, CA, and their children and grandchildren. The Mass of Christian Burial will be

Ogan, Dorothy Mary (Egner), 7 November 1928 -26 April 2012, LOVING WIFE, DEVOTED

MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER, Dorothy Mary (Egner) Ogan, age 83, of Honolulu, passed

away 26 April 2012. She was born in Topeka, Kansas, to Percy R. and Edith F. (Troxell) Egner.

She grew up in a farming community near Ozawkie, where her family had deep roots on land

purchased by her paternal great-grandparents in the 1850′s. Her spiritual roots run deep as well,

as her maternal grandfather was a prominent Lutheran minister. Her humble farm background

taught her the value of working hard and gave her an appreciation of things others sometimes

take for granted, like running water, indoor plumbing and electricity. It also gave her a strong

foundation of cooking, sewing and gardening, which she utilized throughout her life. She was a

good student, graduating from Ozawkie Rural High School as salutatorian at the age of 16. She

graduated from Washburn University in Topeka with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music with

emphasis on vocals. While at Washburn, she became engaged to her high school sweetheart,

Billy Gene Ogan. They were married at First Lutheran Church in Topeka on 26 June 1948, and

would have celebrated their 64th anniversary next month. Bill was in the Air Force, and Dorothy

soon learned the rigors of being a military wife. Their first child, Debbie, was born while Bill

was halfway around the world serving in the Korean War. After he returned, and after the birth

of her second child, Mike, she had to keep the family organized during moves to several different

air bases, including Karamursel, Turkey. On that particular move, she had to manage the two

kids by herself since Bill was required to be there in advance of the family. Following her return

from overseas, Dorothy put her experiences, photographs and souvenirs to work, creating a slide

show called “In the Footsteps of Paul”, tracing the Biblical Paul’s travels in Asia Minor and

Italy, which she presented to school classes and church groups. Music was always a big part of

Dorothy’s life. Her mother taught music and English at the local school. As a young girl she sang

at numerous weddings, funerals and community events. While at Washburn, she became a

member of the Sigma Alpha Iota (SAI), an international professional music fraternity. She taught

music for three years in the high school at Denison, Kansas. As a military wife, she was active in

music in several far-flung locations, including Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Milwaukee A Capella

Chorusters), Amarillo, Texas (Amarillo Chorus), Turkey (Karamursel Air Base Chapel choir

director) and Tulsa, Oklahoma (Tulsa Opera and Symphony choruses). In 1966, the family

moved to Honolulu, where Dorothy sang alto in numerous organizations, including The

Honolulu Chorale, Honolulu Symphony Chorus, Hawaii Opera Theater Chorus, The Don Allton

Singers and The Skylarks (women’s chorus at Hickam Air Force Base). She directed the choirs

at Pearl Harbor Lutheran Church and Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Waikiki. She also was

a soloist at the Temple Emmanu-el Synagogue for several years. Dorothy’s career with the

Hawaii Opera Theater Chorus spanned nearly 40 years, where she sang in two or three operas

each year, beginning with La Boheme in 1967 and most recently Turandot in 2005. In addition to

performing, she taught piano lessons privately from 1967 to 1999. Dorothy always had a love for

dogs, especially cocker spaniels, which she bred and raised for many years. She was a member

and officer of the Hawaii Cocker Club, and was a handler in numerous dog shows for her

cockers, many of which became champions. She is survived by her husband, Billy G. Ogan,

Honolulu; daughter, Deborah S. Ogan, Virginia Beach, VA; son, Michael C. Ogan, Honolulu;

grandson, Adam G. Ogan & wife, Mayumi T., Honolulu; brother, John M. Egner & wife,

Veteran’s Cemetery. Memorial donations in the name of Dorothy Egner Ogan may be made to
