Sara Green O'Neil

Sara Green O'Neil passed away at her home surrounded by loved ones on January 1 2024 after a years long battle with metastatic breast cancer. Sara was born in Van Buren, IN, spent her early life in Marion, IN. She met her husband Bob in her 20's and together they made homes with their children in Chicago, New York State, Tampa, and California before settling in Louisville.
She dedicated her entire life to her family. Whether she was managing her household full of children, managing rental properties with her husband, managing her own mother's prolonged illness, or finally, helping her kids manage their own kids. She did it all with a grace and kindness few could match.
Throughout her life Sara made artwork, from charcoals and collage to stained glass and crafting. She loved spending time with her friends in the Garden club, Wine group, and Widows group. She was a volunteer at La Casita and Friend for Life. Her greatest joys in life were her beloved grandchildren Caroline, Jack, and Collins.
A legendary beauty, Sara was a fierce fighter with a smile that would often disguise her 13 year Cancer battle. The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at CBC group who became like family on this journey, especially Dr Mike Kommor.
She is predeceased by her husband Robert J. O'Neil, her parents Edward Green and Isabelle Green, and her brother Richard Green.
She is survived by her children Tara Jane O'Neil (Jmy), Shana Cassady (Hunter), Jay O'Neil, her grandchildren Caroline, Jack, and Collins, her brother Larry Green, and a large extended family.
