ALEXANDRIA – Gisele L. O’Neil, 66, died Tuesday, May 10, 2022 after an untimely illness. She was born in Nashua, the youngest of 11 children of Henry and Lucille (Houle) deMontigny. She attended local schools and graduated from Hollis-Brookline High School. She worked a number of jobs before meeting and marrying Robert O’Neil, Jr. in 1999. She was then able to stay at home and care for her family. The family lived in Hampton Falls until 2009 when they moved to Alexandria.

Gisele loved her family and sharing her interests with them. They often played board games or watched movies together. She enjoyed making them laugh, as well as, scaring them with her stories of “The Witch in the Woods”. Her favorite holidays were Halloween and Christmas and all of the decorating, music, and movies that went along with them. She loved doing crafts, knitting and painting and during healthier times, she had quite a green thumb and was known for her landscaping works.
