O'NEIL JEANNE Jeanne Marie (Malloy) O'Neil, of Chicago, IL, died on April 17, 2014, at the age of 83. She was born in 1930 in Pittsburgh, the youngest of Charles and Irene (McNerney) Malloy's nine children. In 1948, she graduated from St. Mary of the Mount High School. In 1952, she was one of only two women to graduate from Duquesne University with a B.S. in business administration. That same year, Jeanne married John Joseph Jack O'Neil in Pittsburgh and they had seven children, one daughter followed by six sons. She and her husband divorced in 1980 and he died in 2005. She remained close to her children and grandchildren throughout her life. In 1965, Jeanne began her 32 year career at Trans World Airlines (TWA) in the reservation area of the Pittsburgh office. In 1980, she was transferred to Chicago when the Pittsburgh office closed. As TWA shifted its reservations to a computerized system, Jeanne traveled around the world training reservationists on the new technology. In 1997, she retired from TWA as manager of the Reservation sales. Jeanne remained in her adopted city of Chicago, where four of her seven children reside. Jeanne was an avid sports fan. She was particularly supportive of her hometown Pittsburgh teams. She loved the Pirates and the Penguins, and especially the Pittsburgh Steelers. She was also an enthusiastic fan of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. Jeanne is survived by her daughter, Laurie Good (Barry) of Livonia, MI; her six sons, Kevin O'Neil (Susan Wise) of Chicago, IL, Sean O'Neil (Chris) of Dublin, OH; Mark O'Neil (Valerie) of Mechanicsburg, PA, Michael O'Neil (Liz Bartels) of Chicago, IL, Patrick (Penny) O'Neil of Chicago, IL, and Dan (Shawn-Laree) O'Neil of Chicago, IL; Jeanne is also survived by her 14 grandchildren, Tara Harris, Brandon Good, Connor Good, Moira O'Neil, Melanie Senter, Colleen O'Neil, Corey O'Neil, Bryan O'Neil, Erin Espy, Kerry O'Neil, Megan O'Neil, Ella O'Neil, Christian O'Neil, and Caleb O'Neil; and four great- grandchildren, Bradley Booker, Hannah Harris, Leah Senter, and Harper Anhaltzer; she is also survived by her sister, Betty Malloy Qualters of Pittsburgh. Her parents and other siblings preceded her in death. A family memorial service will be held in Pittsburgh on Saturday, May 24, 2014.
