She was born in Wake County on February 27, 1950 to the late Sexton and Effie Moody Alford. In her spare time, Kathryn loved her beautiful flowers and enjoyed getting lost in her jigsaw puzzles. She is preceded in death by her husband of 48 years, Ralph Dixon "Dickey" O'Neal.

She is survived by her son, Kevin Dixon O'Neal and his wife Sheila Bunn O'Neal of Wendell; grandchildren, Andrew Dixon, Dylan Matthew & Emily Rachel O'Neal; sister, Sherry Alford; dear friend, Gayle Stephenson.

The family will receive friends for Visitation from 1:00pm – 1:45pm, prior to the service. Interment will take place immediately following the service in the church cemetery.
