Obituary
Marblehead…..
Jeanne C. (Raymond) O'Neil, age 97, of Marblehead, died Wednesday afternoon in Salem Hospital following a brief illness. She was predeceased in 1992, by her husband of 59 years, Leonard O'Neil.
She was born in Notre Dame du-Portage, Canada, the daughter of the late Ludger and Alice (Lebel) Raymond. Mrs. O'Neil often reminisced about her wonderful childhood growing up on the family farm along the St. Lawrence River. Mrs. O'Neil enjoyed riding horses and learned blacksmithing from her father. At the age of 16 the family moved to Salem to join family in Salem..
Mrs. O'Neil then became a nanny for a family on Marblehead Neck. She enjoyed going to Devereaux Beach where she met her husband to be. Soon thereafter they married, settled in Marblehead and raised their family. A dedicated wife and mother, she enjoyed staying at home with her family. She often looked forward to Sundays when the extended family would spend the day together. In 1957 she took great pride in becoming a U.S. Citizen.
Later in life, she became employed by Hood Sailmakers, where she had many wonderful friends.
