O'CONNELL, Wanda S. (nee Bogdanowicz) on September 23, 2019. Beloved wife of the late William Joseph O'Connell. Loving mother of Maureen Molloy and Patricia O'Connell Chin wife of John Chin. Cherished grandmother of Thomas Molloy, Kristine Gallo, Kelly Foley, William Joseph Chin, Elizabeth Lane, and great grandmother of Nicholas, Bryan, Keith, Dereck, and Brianna. Proud life-long resident of Brooklyn, New York, she loved her family, friends and neighbors , enjoyed dancing (especially tap),  globe-trotting, playing cards and games and took a genuine interest in all those who crossed her path. She was quick to tell a joke and had the ability to laugh at herself. She liked to travel and never met a stranger as she embraced others, not because of their wealth or status, but because of their personal story. She treasured greeting cards, catching up over the phone and believed that age was really just a number.
