Arlene Connolly O’Neill (Yonkers, NY) was a genuinely extraordinary person: a dedicated, hardworking teacher for over 25 years in the Eastchester School District, a fearless mother, a considerate sister, and a caring friend. Arlene has spent countless hours shaping her pupils’ minds while parenting her three beautiful boys—Sean (15), Brendan (13), and Nolan (11)—who have been her biggest source of pride and delight.
Arlene demonstrated strength, kindness, and resilience. She poured her passion into both her classroom and her family, always prioritizing others over herself.
Arlene’s life was tragically ended on October 16, 2024. Her sons will now confront the challenge of growing up without their support, advocate, and best friend.
Your generous contributions will directly benefit Sean, Brendan, and Nolan’s schooling, as well as their musical and athletic skills, which Arlene worked so hard to nurture and support. Every donation, no matter how modest, will have an impact on the lives of her boys.
