Both of my girls were fortunate to have spent second grade with Mrs. O'Neil. She prepared students well for their sacraments, instilling a lasting reverence for their Catholic Faith. Additionally, she promoted academic success by ensuring students grasped fundamental skills, especially in Reading and Math.
Allowing me to incubate 12 chicken eggs (2 hatched) for a Science Project was definitely a highlight.
A few years later, I began my teaching career at St. Luke and enjoyed a wonderful friendship with Alexa. Her stories were legendary and her memories priceless! For those of us now retired from St. Luke, it  was always a bonus when Alexa joined us at Rusty Bucket luncheons. Lisa...you planned a beautiful funeral. I hope that you and your brothers know how much your mother meant to us. Until I meet her again, know that you all remain in my daily prayers.

This was spring Luncheon with some of the ladies. 

Ladies luncheon at our house stared many years ago. Lexi was  one of the reason we started the tradition. We all celebrated our mothers at Christmas and enjoyed the day of laughter and lots of great stories. We miss you Lexi. You will always be in our hearts♥️

I taught at St. Luke with Alexa for many years. She left us with some great memories for sure. She was so much fun. And the energy that lady had was remarkable. She was doing everything at that school! She was a special teacher. I am sure heaven is an even better place with her up there! 

My dear Aunt Alexa was like a second mother to me throughout my life. I consider her as my first real music teacher, and I am so grateful for the years we had working together at St. Luke Catholic Church for Masses, weddings, and funerals. She taught me so much as a devout Catholic & as a magnificent & accomplished musician.  She touched countless lives through her teaching of so many school children at St. Luke's and through the beautiful music she provided to the parish for 30 years! In our family, she was a pillar of strength & love, & she made everything so much fun! We are all saying it feels like the end of an era for us, but we will try to carry on the many traditions that she held so dear within our family.  To my cousins Lisa, George and Joe - her love for you, her beautiful children, was boundless & eternal. She is now in Heaven with your beloved brother, her son, Andrew, her grandson, Daniel, & with all her family members who have gone before her.  May Aunt Alexa rest in Paradise. 

Alexa was such a gift to our family.  Our children enjoyed Mrs O’Neill and her classroom where she would, at times, stop in the middle of a lesson and play her piano and sing with students.  Alexa’s curriculum was filled with individual challenges and weekly poem memorization. 

 Alexa also helped us at our father’s funeral. She met with me and my mother back in her bedroom while my mother rested.   Alexa lovingly guided us through the music decisions and basically handled the whole situation, leaving my mom feeling assured that it would go smoothly. 

Alexa O’Neill was a one-of-a-kind, multi-talented, wonderful soul. 
May all the angels surround her and guide her home.

Mrs. O'Neil was my second grade homeroom teacher,  one of the many great teachers at St. Luke who had the unfortunate job of having me as a student.  My fondest memory of my time in her class, and one I still laugh about to this day, involves her having to restrain myself and another student in our seats while putting tape over our mouths so we would stop talking to each other.  Her no nonsense approach to discipline and creative way of educating her classes has without a doubt left a lasting impact on me and countless others who were lucky enough to have been assigned room 201. They just don't make 'em like her anymore. Rest in peace Mrs. O'Neal, you will be missed but never forgotten. 

Alexa was one of a kind!
I think that says it all!
Loved her 

Lisa, Joe and George,
I was so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I taught across the hall from her for many years! My memories involve a lot of laughter and fun! She was also a talented musician which we were all privy to. A dedicated teacher of the little ones and making sure they were properly prepared for their First Communion, which I loved helping with.
She will be playing the organ for all the angels and saints! May she rest in Heaven!
