Adeline “Eddie” O’Connor, age 61, passed away on Saturday, March 12, 2022, in her home in Anchorage, Alaska.

She was born to the late Lawrence and Laura Kayoukluk on Sept. 23, 1960, in Shaktoolik, Alaska. She was one of 12 children. She attended grade school in Shaktoolik and Covenant High in Unalakleet.

Adeline loved subsistence gathering and traveling all over Alaska, occasionally returning to Unalakleet to spend summers.

She is preceded in death by sisters Sharon Negron, Gloria Kayoukluk, Laura Kayoukluk, Virginia Kayoukluk and her parents Lawrence and Laura Kayoukluk.

She is survived by her children and grandchildren. Daughters: Shaunna, Margaret and Loretta O’Connor; son Frank O’Connor and granddaughters Laura O’Connor and Willow Prate.
