She served as mayor of Long Beach, California from 1994 to 2006.[1] She is the only three-term citywide elected mayor of Long Beach, having won her third term as a write-in candidate because of Long Beach's term limits law preventing a two-term mayor from appearing on the ballot.[2][3][4]

O'Neill's parents moved from South Dakota to Long Beach before she was born. She married her high school beau, Bill, in 1952.[8]
