Jackie LaRae O’Neil Garcia, 70, passed away peacefully with family present at Canyonlands Care Center in Moab, Utah. Family has been an important supportive role in Jackie’s ongoing battle with cancer.
Jackie was born in Price, Utah, on July 17, 1947, to Alfred Leroy and Nettie Lovell Tryon O’Neil. Jackie worked many jobs, but was Assistant Manager of Pizza Hut for 20 years.
Jackie loved many things, including rock tumbling, jewelry making, arrowhead hunting and listening to music, but most of all, she loved her family. She was the “Rock” in our lives, a hard-working woman who will be very much missed.
