Obituary

Anita Schy

Our hearts are broken by the passing of Anita Beth Schy, 64, who bravely lost her fight with cancer on Monday, June 6, 2016 surrounded by the love of her entire family. Anita engaged us all with compassion, creativity, and intelligence. Her artistic sense and literate insights enhanced our days all her life. Thoughtful always; beautiful and funny; her unique sense of humor made us laugh even during her most difficult days. She helped us through it peacefully. She will be missed for so much by so many. Survived by her loving and devoted husband of 36 years, Jeffrey W. O'Neill, and her three adoring daughters Claire, Jacqueline, and Nora, whom she shaped into strong and independent young women. Cherished daughter of Ray (DeMar) Schy and the late Robert Schy, irreplaceable sister of Philip (Iris), Terry, the late Lee, and Scot. For those so inclined to make a donation in Anita's memory, please consider Planned Parenthood, the American Cancer Society, or the Chicago Botanic Garden.
