Debra O'Neil passed away on December 22, 2023 at the age of 71. Beloved life partner of Clarence Baker. Loving mother of Shannon (Luke) Weiker. Cherished grandmother of Nick, Jaime, and Skye. Proud great grandmother of Bella. Dearest sister of Mic O'Neil.

Debra was as sweet as an angel. She was an extremely successful saleswoman and was one of the first in her time. When she began her career at Gardner White, she was told they do not hire women in sales. After working for some time there, they decided to give her a chance and she excelled. Debra became the top salesperson in the company and was even part of the Presidents Club which is the highest honor you can achieve in sales. She later started at Value City Furniture, and became the highest salesperson there as well. Her success was attributed to her kind and genuine deminer that she portrayed to everyone at work and also in her everyday life. She loved to go camping and travel with her partner Clarence. Debra was very crafty, always having new projects to work on. She loved playing Tetris, some say she may have been addicted at one point! Debra used to bowl quite often and was very good at it. Most people were in disbelief when they heard that she threw a 16 pound ball!

She will be deeply missed by her entire family and her friends. Please keep the family in your thoughts during this time.

Services are private at this time.
