​Marilyn Claire McCauley (nee Quinn) May 7, 1944 – July 30, 2026

Marilyn was born May 7th, 1944, to single mother Loretta Quinn of Philadelphia, PA. From that day on, her grandparents, aunts and uncles encircled little Marilyn with love and pride, providing a family bond which continues today. After her mother married John Steer, Marilyn not only gained a loving father but her fiercely loved siblings; Janet Steer Slaton (Gerald,) John (Jack) Steer (Diane) and Joseph Steer (Delores.) In her late teens, Marilyn worked at the Hot Shoppes as a car hop where she met a line cook, John McCauley. They married in 1962 and started their 46-year marriage. They resided in various towns of Delaware County including Ridley Park and Aston where they enjoyed lifelong friendships with many neighbors.

Marilyn worked at Sears at the Granite Run Mall and Lawrence Park until her retirement when she moved to Bear, DE. In Bear, Marilyn again, was lucky enough to have some very special neighbors. Marilyn and her husband learned quickly what parenting entailed as they were instrumental in the rearing of her own siblings. But Marilyn’s true motherhood started when she had John, Jr., Maureen (Joseph,) Hugh (Donna,) and Michelle (Eric.) She raised her children steeped in her strong Catholic faith and a “nun like” discipline. Nothing got past Marilyn, her children can attest to it. Marilyn, as a highly favored aunt and grandmother, sealed the family bond even tighter. Her best times were spent with her 10 grandchildren, 19 nieces and nephews and 27 (and still counting) great nieces and nephews.

Marilyn will be lovingly remembered by her family not only for her delicious cooking but for her sense of humor, her solid advice and her loving hugs. Marilyn, at 82 years old, is preceded in death by many special people which enabled her large collection of funeral prayer cards. She treasured these memories and often enjoyed a cup of coffee with a slice of cake while she perused them.

​Julia Rebecca Bush was born in Media, Pennsylvania, on April 18, 2002. She was raised in West Chester, Pennsylvania, as the daughter of Linda O’Connor and Michael Bush, sister of Anna Bush and Joe O’Connor, and stepdaughter of Mike O’Connor and Kristin Bush. 
 
She attended Hillsdale Elementary School, Peirce Middle School, Henderson High School, and Jean Madeline Aveda Institute in Philadelphia. 
 
Family was everything to Julia. She loved to drive around and listen to music with Anna. She attended concerts and music festivals with her Dad, Kristin, and Anna, and they took fantastic vacations to Italy, California, and other memorable locations. They spent valuable time watching movies and TV together, always making each other laugh, and Julia’s great sense of humor came from her Dad.
 
Julia loved to visit the Caribbean with her Mom, Mike, Anna, and Joe, and she would wake everyone up for the sunrise. She loved to cook and bake with her Mom, especially at the holidays, and enjoyed golfing with her Mom and Mike. (She was getting better each time.) Julia loved to watch Philadelphia sports with Joe and make runs to Dairy Queen on hot nights. 
 
Most importantly, Julia made countless memories in Sea Isle City with all of her family members, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. 
 
From the day she was born, Julia filled every room she entered with love and laughter. She was passionate about music, art, sports, astrology, spirituality, and anything that could bring her closer to people. 
 
Julia had an artistic nature. She was passionate about creating with paint, markers, pencils, hair, or makeup and could always rely on a canvas to help her express her emotions and inspirations. 
 
She lived in Philadelphia for several years and started careers in cosmetology and the service industry. Julia cared for her clients and “regulars” by sharing her stories and always being an incredible listener. She grew a strong network of friends who described her as brave, loyal, silly, supportive, funny, and welcoming. They all played an important part in her life and inspired her to be a strong and independent woman. 
 
Julia tried to build people up when they were feeling low and would do anything for her beloved family and friends. She left a mark on everyone’s life no matter how briefly she knew them. Julia will never be forgotten.
 
Julia is survived by her parents Linda and Mike O’Connor and Michael and Kristin Bush; her sister Anna Bush; her brother Joe O’Connor; her grandparents John E. Carr, Jr. and Nancy Bush; her bonus grandparents Christine and Ray Gothie and Kathy Johnson; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and fur babies, all of whom will miss her dearly.
 
The celebration of Julia’s life will take place on Friday, July 24, 2026, at Carr Funeral Home, 935 S. Providence Road, Wallingford, PA. Visitation will be from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and a tribute to Julia will follow. 
 
The O’Connor family will hold a Mass Saturday, July 25, 2026. Relatives and friends are invited to her visitation from 9 to 9:45 a.m., followed by a Funeral Mass at 10 a.m. at St. Agnes Church, 233 W. Gay Street, West Chester, PA. A burial of the O’Connor family’s ashes will follow at Lawn Croft Cemetery, 1000 W. Ridge Road, Linwood, PA.
 
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributing to Active Minds or the Chester County Art Association.

 Paul Albert Farnschlader (95) passed away peacefully on June 22, 2026.
​
Paul was born on January 28, 1931 to German immigrants, Paul and Berta Farnschlader in Allentown Pa. After graduating from Allentown Central Catholic High School, his basketball skills earned him a scholarship to Tristate College in Angola, Indiana.  Following 4 distinguished years on the Varsity basketball team at Tristate (where he was known as “Lefty”), Paul graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. After graduation, Paul landed his first job in the aerospace industry for Bell Helicopters in Fort Worth, Texas where he met and wed his wife, Jackie Forte. After several years at Bell Helicopter, he would return to Pennsylvania to join The Boeing Company’s Helicopter Division, where he worked for 30 years.

In Media, Paul and Jackie started their family residing in the house he had built in 1966 in Media Pa., living there until his passing. Paul is pre-deceased by Parents Paul and Berta Farnschlader, brothers James and Albert Farnschlader, and sister Rita Slafkosky, and his beloved wife of over 55 years, Jackie. He leaves behind his loving son Paul and wife Missy nee Magee. Daughter Lisa and husband John Waraksa, and sons David and Michael.  Grandchildren John Paul, Breana, Connor, Paul and Emily. Great grandchildren, Everly, Penelope, and Goldie, many nieces and nephews, and his loyal dog, Cayuga.

He enjoyed summers at the shore, and traveling the country he was so proud to live in. He was also a big Philly sports fan and an avid supporter of Villanova Basketball. He was a charitable man who had deep sympathy for the underprivileged something he experienced and never forgot while growing up during the Great depression in the 1930’s.  He was also very proud to be an American and grateful for the opportunities he received living in the United States. Paul’s love for his wife and children was unwavering. We all relied on his strength and wisdom; he will be deeply missed.
