Anne O'Neill Obituary

ANNE BRADLEY O'NEILL passed away on Saturday, February 11, 2006. Anne was born in Monroe, Louisiana on October 23, 1947 and moved to Houston when she was two years old with her parents, Dick and Louise Bradley. She was a graduate of Lee High School and Ole Miss where she was a Chi Omega and recipient of various honors. After working at Mitchell Energy, Anne married John O'Neill in 1976. The couple was blessed with two wonderful children, Katie (1977) and Bradley (1981). Anne was a member of the Junior League of Houston and River Oaks Garden Club. She was a leader in parent organizations at St. Michael's School and Episcopal High School. She was an elder at St. Philip Presbyterian Church. In 1981, Anne was diagnosed with Wegener's disease, a rare and lethal immunological disorder. Through the skill of Drs. Suki, Zacca, Frost and others, accompanied by God's grace and her own courage, she survived this scourge for 25 years, becoming the longest lived survivor of Wegeners'. She believed that God proved through her rich life that we need not become the bad things that happen to us. Most recently, she arose from a kidney transplant to assist the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth's crucial effort in the 2004 Presidential Campaign. Their No. 1 bestseller Unfit for Command was dedicated to her courage. She was preceded in death by her father, Dick. She is survived by her mother, Louise Bradley; husband, John; children, Katie, her husband John Clark; and Bradley; as well as a sister, Tucker. Friends are cordially invited to a visitation with the family from six until eight o'clock in the evening on Tuesday, the 14th of February, 2006 in the Library of Geo. H. Lewis & Sons, 1010 Bering Drive in Houston. A graveside service will be conducted at ten o'clock in the morning on Wednesday, the 15th of February, 2006 at Glenwood Cemetery, 2525 Washington Avenue in Houston, with a memorial service to be conducted at eleven o'clock at First Presbyterian Church, 5300 Main Street in Houston, with a reception to follow at the church.

May God richly bless the family of Anne Bradley O'Neill and hold them close in his hands of protection during this time of mourning, and always.



It isn't often that we are blessed with such an example of perseverance, integrity, and honor as we are in the life of Anne O'Neill.



It pleases me to no end to know that such a wonderful woman took care of one of my Vietnam Veteran heroes. I am sure Anne is receiving her reward for her faithfulness to the Father as I write this.



God speed.

Lady Liberty has been served well by such a fine patriot as Anne, now her faithful ministry continues as one of the Lord's finest angels.



May her legacy live on in spirit in not only the hearts of all who knew her but for those yet to come so her good work will not be undone.



Anne has fought the good fight and we must continue it.

Feel no guilt in laughter, she knows how much you care

Feel no sorrow in a smile that she's not here to share

She'd hope that you will carry on, the way you always do

So talk about the good times, and the ways you showed you cared

The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared



As she is not dead, she is just away.. home now waiting for the day we will all be united in Jesus Christ.



May He give you all a peace that surpasses all human understanding..



Your Wife & Mom & Friend was one of my hero's. I will never forget her work during the Kerry -Bush election campaign.



Sincerely sorry to hear of your loss John.

Dear John, Katie, Bradley, and Louise,

Although my sister and I had not seen our cousin Anne and her family since our trip to Houston in the early 90's when our children were all young, we still remember that trip with great fondness; Anne's graciousness and good humor despite her suffering were a big part of it. Anne will be remembered for the loving, devoted, and caring wife, mother, daugher, sister, cousin, and friend she was. May God's love sustain you, your memories of Anne comfort you, and the thoughts and prayers of friends and family support you at this difficult time. Sorrow does not last forever; LOVE does.

John, Katie & Bradley,

I am so sorry for your loss. December 23rd will always be the day that I think of your family. Some of my fondest memories are of the parties and special occasions that I played for at your house in River Oaks. Anne always made me feel like a million bucks when she would tell me, "Good, you're here, now we can get this party going." God Bless you and keep you in His tender care. Anne was a great person and will be missed sorely by all of us. Ms. Louise, I am so sorry for your having to survive the loss of a child. To lose both your husband and your child is an unthinkable loss. God be especially with you at this time.

Louise, John, Katie and Bradley,

I will not be able to attend the service tomorrow due to illness. I last saw Anne in the fall, having lunch with Katie at, where else, the Avalon. It was wonderful to see her with a burger and one of those great Avalon milkshakes. She enjoyed every bit of it. My first memory was sitting in the rapids at a St. Philip Mo Ranch weekend and really getting to talk with her and know her. She always had that beautiful smile and her eyes always shone with happiness. You never left a visit with Anne O'Neill without feeling wonderful about yourself. She had that effect on people. She will always be with me. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

My condolences on your loss of Anne. It was a privilege for me to renew acquaintnance with you and meet her at the 2004 Clerks reunion. You and she had just finished a year of heavy turmoil but awesome service. I was widowed six years ago and therefore can empathize to some minor degree with your current passage. God be with you and family, and thank you again for all she did in life.

We regret that we did not have the opportunity to know Anne, but it is clear that she leaves a legacy of courage and love. Our prayers are with all of you.

February 14, 2006

Anne was brilliant and very funny. She was also a great poet. She loved singing and animals and wildflowers and campfires and Christmas and family dinners. Her profoundly great joy, however, was the adventure of knowing her children. Their loving support and willing sacrifices empowered Anne to never give up on living a creative life. May God’s healing embrace comfort and restore Katie and Bradley, now, and from now on. - Tucker

February 13, 2006

John,

My deepest sympathy in the loss of your beloved Anne.



Though I never met her, I knew of her illness and your sacrifice to help her overcome her sickness. And it was during this time two years ago when you voluntarily joined a different battle to reveal another side of events that occurred in Vietnam so many years ago.



I met you a warm September day in 2004 in Washington DC for a rally in support of that effort. You graciously gave up your breakfast that morning to personally sign copies of your book from numerous admirers who crowed around your table. As a veteran who served for a year alongside the PCF's during that time, I relate more than most to the truth in that book.



I thank you for your courage and dedication to your country, then and now, and I am so sorry for your loss. May you and your family receive some measure of comfort by knowing that there are many of us who share your loss and grieve with you.

Having had a close first cousin with Wegner's disease who passed away last year, I understand in a small way what Anne Bradley O'Neill had to go through.

My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

John,



You don't know me but I was a high school classmate of Anne's. I remember her well and was very proud to read of her accomplishments since I last saw her over 40 years ago. Strangely enough I did not know that she was born in Monroe. My parents were both from Monroe and I spend a lot of time there visiting my grandparents.



My sympathy to you and your family.



Sincerely,

Martin

May the Lord help you find some peace in remembering every moment you were blessed to share together.
