Dec. 25, 1929 to Jan. 8, 2024
Doris ONeill (Day) of Carbondale lived in Wayzata and Hopkins, Minnesota. She was born Dec. 25,1929 and passed away peacefully at the age of 94, leaving behind four siblings out of 14. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 64 years, Jack ONeill. They both enjoyed a full life.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways — chocolate in one hand and wine in the other, a body thoroughly worn out!
Doris had a dignified and meaningful quality of life. She really enjoyed all of her endeavors: sewing club, quilt making, playing scrabble, Zingers Singers, Red Hats, Tai Chi, skiing, supporting Finn Sisu and playing Whist for over 50 years with her nursing cohort!
Survived by her son, Gary ONeill, granddaughter, Clarissa ONeill (residing in Brazil), son, Tim ONeill, daughter, Kathy ONeill (Dave Ellis), grandson, George Ellis and son, Mike ONeill.
A private family memorial will be held to reunite Doris with Jack. She wished to be cremated and for her ashes to follow Jack with the planting of a bee feed flower mix.
Donations to the local nonprofit Meals on Wheels, or other national programs, are appreciated in lieu of flowers.
