Jim Maguire wrote this note on Facebook about his mother:

My Mom, Margaret, grew up in the near-Southside neighborhood of Fountain Square. She was the daughter of Patrick and Bridget O’Brien and the fifth of six children. The O’Brien clan belonged to St. Patrick’s parish where Mom attended grade school. She was a 1936 high school graduate of St. John’s Academy. Her answer to the question (which is also a favorite St. Patrick’s Day song): did your Mother come from Ireland,was “Yes, and my Father too.” On this day 21 years ago, Mom left this earth to hopefully re-unite with her family and friends. She had a twinkle in her eye and a beautifully dry sense of humor. She is missed.
