Patricia Gayle O’Neale, 67, of West Columbia, SC, passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by family on October 3, 2021. She was the wife of John O’Neale, and they shared 20 years of marriage together.

She enjoyed couponing, cooking, baking delicious treats, thrift shopping, bingo, and casino visits. She will be remembered for her kind heart, “directness”, boisterous and motherly nurturing spirit. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and she touched many lives with her generosity and passion for life.
