Oney was a family orientated person, she loved spending time with family and grandchildren. She enjoyed cooking and garage sailing and having her annual rummage sales.

Oney also loved her pets, she treated each one of them as her own children. She made the best cheesecake you've ever tasted. She was known for her sense of humor, huge smile and laughter and making everyone and anyone laugh.

Oney also had a knack for collecting items and turning them into new refurbished items. She was simply known for her determination and flair in life, she always worked very hard to provide a wonderful life for her family and loved ones.

Oney was a free spirit and full of life, she was kind, caring, stubborn, hardworking, smart, smart mouthed and full of sass.

Oney was loved by many and will be dearly missed. Rest easy, and fly high Oney Baloney. You will be loved always and forever!
