Cecilia E. O’Rourke, 91, entered into rest on August 18, 2019, in Manteca, Ca. A native of Iowa she was born on June 5, 1928. She is preceded in death by her husband Robert O’Rourke Sr.; her parents, Theodore and Rose Schmitt; and her siblings, Loretta Korzendorfer, Alvina Bodensteiner, Esther Myers and Roy Schmitt.

She was blessed by 6 grandchildren, Juli, Kathleen, Kelly, Ryan, Patrick Jr. and Meghan, and 10 great-grandchildren. Cecilia grew up in Iowa where she owned and operated her own beauty salon. She and her husband relocated their family to California where she raised her four children. She was a loving mother and grandmother who was extremely proud of her family. Cecilia was a longtime member of St. Anthony’s Catholic Church of Manteca. She enjoyed reading and was an avid sports fan, never missing a Giants, A’s, Warriors, Kings or 49ers game. Cecilia will be remembered for her friendly demeanor and her loving spirit, and she will be deeply missed by all who loved her. P.L. Fry & Son is honored to be serving the O’Rourke family. Cecilia will be laid to rest privately with her beloved husband at St. John’s Catholic Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to the American Cancer Society.

  3. Thanks a ton for your post. I want to write my opinion that the tariff of car insurance varies greatly from one scheme to another, given that there are so many different facets which bring about the overall cost. By way of example, the make and model of the motor vehicle will have an enormous bearing on the fee. A reliable old family car will have an inexpensive premium than just a flashy sports car.
