Tina M. O'Neil

Tina M. O’Neil, 66, of Jaffrey, NH, died peacefully at her home surrounded by her loved ones on Tuesday, August 29, 2023 after a period of failing health

Tina was a native of the Monadnock Region, born in Peterborough, NH, on March 23, 1957, the beloved daughter of the late John and Olive (Bernier) Quinn. Attending school in Jaffrey, Tina graduated from Conant High School in 1975 and then went on to earn degrees in business management and animal science.  Her love of people brought her professional career to Marquette Credit Union in Winchendon, MA where she spent many years until health concerns prevented her from doing so any longer.  Later in life she returned to the workforce part time at McDonald’s in Jaffrey, where she enjoyed greeting all her morning regulars.

Family and children were at the core of Tina’s life and she devoted much of her life to caring for her children, grandchildren and for many other children of the community as well. Service was one of the many contributions she made to this world and she enjoyed volunteering in Scouting alongside her devoted husband Michael.  Her love of  Scouting can be seen in her serving on the District Committee for the Special Needs Scout Troop 349 and as a Cubmaster for Pack 308 in Rindge.  Tina’s faith also guided her service and she was an active member of the United Church of Jaffrey where she served as a Deacon, as well as helping in Triple D. Tina could always be found anywhere else she saw a need within the church.

Tina M. O’Neil  treasured daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, friend, co-worker of Jaffrey New Hampshire leaves behind a legacy of faith, service and family. The impact she has made on the lives of the people she met is immeasurable. Please hold her in your thoughts and reflect upon how she touched your life. She is survived by her beloved  husband of 47 years, Michael D O’Neil, her son, Patrick O’Neil Sr. and his wife Crystle, her daughter, Nikki O’Neil, and by her grandchildren, Sabastian, Julian, Sophia, Patrick Jr., Khloe, and Norrey, all of Jaffrey.
