Everyday of Jane's life she would pray this prayer: "Lord send me someone whom I might be able to help today." In the spirit of that prayer we remember Jane O'Neil as an adoring wife, a caring mother, grandmother, and a faithful volunteer. She was married for 45 years to Leroy O'Neil her soul mate and loving husband. Together they had four sons, 13 grandchildren and 12 great- grandchildren. She devoted her life to her children, her church, and her community. During her life she was involved as the past president of the women's club, and catechism teacher at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. She was a den mother for Boys Scouts of America. She was a volunteer for the Well Baby Clinic, Gleaners and Kern River Parkway Foundation. She was a member of the Golden Agers Club at St. Francis Church. Some of Jane's fondest memories were traveling to Mexico, Canada and around the United States with her husband in their "Lazy Dayz".
