It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved grandmother, Marge O'Neil on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2025, at the age of 82. 

Born in Havre on Oct. 13, 1942. She was mother to Ralph O'Neil, Shelly, and Vicky. She is a cherished grandmother to Becky Kurtz, Rachel O'Neil, Jennifer Ritter, Daniel O'Neil, and Ralph O'Neil Jr. Marge was known for her outgoing nature. She was a consistent volunteer at the Rialto in Tucson, Arizona, a member of a local mahjong club, and a lover of traveling. One of the many places she traveled was Machu Picchu where the locals crowned her queen because she was the tallest woman on the island. The locals believed she had secret powers because of her remarkable size, while her friend Lindy, was believed to be just like the locals. Among some of her other travels included, Copenhagen, France, Denmark, and Israel, and she was planning another vacation to Mexico. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Marge was preceded in death by her daughters Shelly and Vicky; her parents Ed and Marion Thielman; her brothers James and Dicky, and sister Jodine. 

Marge is survived in death by son Ralph, five grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren.
