March 4, 1948 - May 18, 2020

Sandra “Sandy” O’Neil, beloved wife of John L. O’Neil for 53 years, passed away on Monday, May 18, 2020. Sandy was born in Boston, MA to Phyllis Buttlar (Robinson) and Harold Buttlar.

She married John O’Neil at the age of 18, and they later settled in Plainfield, CT. Later in life, they purchased a condo in Fort Myers, FL where they enjoyed their winters together.

As a young girl, Sandy dreamed of Travelling the world, and she did just that. Her travels had taken her to all seven continents, and the three longest rivers.

She is survived by her husband, John O’Neil; their daughters, Phyllis Gartman and Pamela Haggett; granddaughters, Cassie Haggett, Ashley Haggett, and Sarah Haggett; sister, Shirley Skapriwsky; as well as many nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life service for Sandy will be held in Plainfield, CT at a later date. Details to be announced via www.MullinsMemorial.com
