Margaret M. O’Hara

March 18, 1930 - September 19, 2022

Margaret M. O’Hara, 92, peacefully passed away on Monday morning September 19, 2022. She was a resident of Miller’s Assisted Living in Plymouth.

On March 18, 1930, in Argos, Indiana, Margaret was the daughter of Jesse and Armeda (Swihart) Reeves. She graduated from Argos High School with the class of 1949. Her class would become the “local 49ers” and meet monthly to catch up and keep their connections. An activity she very much looked forward to.

On March 5, 1950, in the Methodist parsonage in Argos, Margaret married Eugene L. O’Hara. They would make South Bend their home and Margaret drove bus for the South Bend Community School Corporation. She was her best self when she was with children and treated all the children on her bus as her own. In September of 2014, Gene and she made Plymouth their home, until his passing in 2017.

Margaret was funny, sassy and quick witted; traits that she passed on to some of her grandchildren. She was very giving and would do and buy for those in need. She taught honesty and kindness and gave you the time and space to figure things out instead of telling you what to do. Margaret had a strong belief in God and through Him found peace and strength in hard times. She was a member of the Sonlight Wesleyan Church in South Bend.

She was a great baker and cook. She loved Christmas, sending cards to others for all celebrations and occasions as well as receiving them, and a love for cats and dogs. Margaret was a treasured Mother and the best Grandma, loving them above herself.

She is survived by her children and families: Michael E. O’Hara of South Bend and his children, Adam, Amy, Andrew and Kynan; Mark A. (Mary Jane) O’Hara of Eugene, Oregon and children, Katelyn and Kyle; Diana L. (Tim) Nemeth of Plymouth and children, Steve and Jason; Michele A. (Darren) Couts of Goodyear, Arizona and children, Leah and Lindsey. Numerous great-grandchildren will complete the family.

Margaret was preceded in death by her husband, Gene; her parents; her grandson Jason; her sister, Armelia and her infant brothers.

Visitation will be held on Monday, September 26, 2022, from 11-1 p.m. at Johnson-Danielson Funeral Home, 1100 N. Michigan Street, Plymouth. Funeral services will follow at 1 p.m. with Pastor Ed Friberg officiating.

    To the family of Margaret OHara, my deepest sympathy. Your mother was a wonderful friend. We had many great times talking over coffee. She will be missed.
    I haven’t talked to her much since I have remarried and moved to Florida and Ontario, but I thought of her many times. It was good living on Middleboro as neighbours.
    Remembering all of you children in different ways during this sad time . Michele you were a good babysitter and Mom missed you when you moved to Oregon; Diana, you were a great caregiver for your parents opening your home so they could live with you; Mike, you spent many hours helping your parents, and Mark , your mother was so proud of you but was sad you moved to Oregon because she couldn’t see you often.
    Your old neighbor,
    Phyllis Miller Martin

    To the family of Margaret,
    How sorry I am to hear my fried has passed. We spoke a few weeks ago and she was so upbeat. She always had a smile in her voice and was happy in her little space. I will miss our talks and friendship. We had lots of good times together.
    I will not be able to attend the service but I will be there in spirit.
