Who Is Tig Notaro Mother, Mathilde “Susie” O’Callaghan?
Tig Notaro’s mother is Mathilde “Susie” O’Callaghan. In March 2012, after coming out of the hospital after being diagnosed with Clostridium difficile, she got a call from her dry-witted stepfather, an attorney step-father that her mother had tripped and hit her head at home and was now in a coma, about to die.
In Tig’s memoir, she mentioned that her mother was so dazzling she outshone everyone in the room. She saw the party in everything, even a school sports day; as soon as her kids were in bed, she would go out dancing until dawn. Tig told, “She was just so outrageous and funny and without any boundaries.”
When people questioned Tig, age 7, about why she preferred to wear T-shirts and jeans rather than fancy dresses, Tig’s mother stood up for her and accepted her as she was. Tig added, “My mother was so stylish, but she never pushed that on me. She always thought I looked cool.”
Speaking to VanityFair, Tig added more about her mother, “My mom was a freethinking artist—she was wild and would do anything to get a laugh from me. She’d go in reverse through a drive-through so I could order from the window: ‘Hi, can I get a milkshake?’”
Susie was born to her parents Mathilde Adelaide Fitzpatrick (the daughter of John James Fitzpatrick and Laura Agnes Renaud) and William James O’Callaghan (the son of John Henry O’Callaghan and Annie Elizabeth Coffey). John Fitzpatrick (John James Fitzpatrick), the father of Tig’s great-grandfather John, was born in Fairfield, Franklin, Vermont, to Irish parents James Fitzpatrick and Catherine McGettrick. He served as mayor of New Orleans, Louisiana, from 1892 to 1896.
Marie Francoise Mathilde Gaerthener, who was born in Liepvre, Haut-Rhin, Alsace, France, was the mother of Tig’s great-grandfather John. Laura, Tig’s great-grandmother, was the child of Adele Mealy and Aristide Charles Renaud, a Frenchman with ancestry in Angers, Maine-et-Loire, and the Pays de la Loire.
Sadly, Tig lost her mother Susie on 29 March 2012 at the age of 66 in Spring, Texas. At the time of her death, she was married to Laurie J. Cusack of Spring, TX.

Tig Notaro Wife
Tig Notaro is married to her wife Stephanie Allynne. Their path reportedly crossed each other on the set of the 2013 film In a World…, in which they both played minor characters. Before Tig, Stephanie had only dated men. At the time the actress considered herself straight, but the couple clicked with each other.
“I was so into Tig and I was falling in love with her and I didn’t know how to identify it because I thought I was straight,” Stephanie told Cosmopolitan in 2015. “I kept gravitating toward her and wanting to spend time with her, and then in the process of recognizing that in myself, I was like, ‘Oh my god, I am fully in love with this person.'”
The two actresses were previously dating before getting married in October 2015. They have been married ever since.
“I bring a good amount of material from my real life, for sure. I always tell people I live with a writing staff, because just waking up every day, it’s endless stories and experiences,” Tig told The Columbus Dispatch about bringing her family into her act.
She continued, “I try to keep some stuff under wraps and find a happy medium. I try to remember my sons are still young and aren’t able to make choices about what’s shared about their lives. But it’s hard to let a good story go. … I might run it by Stephanie: “Hey, do you mind if I tell that story when that thing happened with the cat?”
She was previously in a long-term relationship that tragically came to an end which had left her heartbroken.
