Susan Margaret O'Neill

Susan was born in Toledo,Ohio on December 14,1953 to Richard James and Mary Lu O'Neill. She graduated from McCauley, all-girl, Catholic High School. Attending McCauley was so important to Susan, she worked while in high school to pay for her own tuition.

Her duties ranged from administrative assistant to project management, with the latter being her passion. Another passion of Susan's was being an avid beach goer.

She remained active within her community by volunteering for organizations, including her church. Susan traveled to South America with her church on a mission trip to help build schools in third world countries for those less fortunate. She also volunteered regularly with Bicycle Blessings, repairing bicycles to be distributed to those in need in her community. Susan was a very active volunteer in community theater, and also loved the fine arts. She had many friends from all walks of life.
