Devyn O'Neill

Devyn is a wife and mother to a 1 year old girl. She is also the oldest of four children - a brother and 2 sisters. She was raised in Warrens, WI and now resides in the Milwaukee area where she is fortunate to be home raising her daughter full-time.

Devyn earned her bachelor's degree in Organizational and Professional Communication from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and then her MBA at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.

In July of 2009, Devyn lost her mother to domestic violence. As a nurse in the OB department, her mother brought life into the world every day, so Devyn could not think of a better way to honor her life than to give life to someone else. In August of 2015, she became a non-directed living kidney donor at the age of 21. She later found out that her recipient was 15 years old, the same age Devyn was when her mom died.

Devyn has always been very engaged in the community. Her involvement has included being a committee member of the Remembering Teresa Organization in memory of her mother, Wisconsin Department of Justice survivor speaker, volunteer at numerous domestic violence shelters, National Kidney Registry, American Hero award recipient honorably received at "Season of Miracles Gala", and Georgetown University research on altruism study participant.
