O'Neal, Lillian Ray

Lillian Ray O'Neal 1920 - 2008 Greenlawn Southwest Funeral Services for Lillian O'Neal will be held today, December 16, 10:00 a.m., at Greenlawn Southwest Memorial Park with interment to follow. Lillian O'Neal passed away at the age of 88 in the presence of her daughters, Helen Henson and Linda Holguin and granddaughters, Lisa and Micheline Holguin on Thursday, December 11, 2008. Also present through her battle with cancer were grandson, Kevin Henson and great-grandchildren, Jennifer Mitchell, William Arciszewski, Jonathon Holguin and son-in-law, Connie Henson. She is survived by two other grandchildren, six great- grandchildren, four great-great- grandchildren and four of 11 siblings. Lillian came to California over 60 years ago with husband Ivan O'Neal, who precedes her in death. To the amazement of her daughters, Lillian was always prepared to cook for a house full of people without notice. She had an infectious laugh, was non-judgmental in her love of others, and strong of faith. Never wealthy, Lillian would tell you she had a richer life than most and she lived it with kindness, integrity, and generosity. Everyone who knew her, even if only briefly, will miss her-but not one doubts where she has gone to rest.
