Barbara S. Neal

Barbara Sue Neal, 64, went to heaven early Monday morning, January 13, 2014 at her home surrounded by her loving family. Barbara was born and raised in Herrin, Illinois. She was a dedicated loan officer for Sunrise Financial Services, and was known around town for helping many people to get into their dream home. Most of her clients became an extended part of her family. Barbara was an avid motorcyclist and shared many memories of the miles with her husband as they traveled side by side. She was a member of the ABATE of Florida, Peace River Chapter. Barbara was a one-of-kind woman and she was loved by many and will never be forgotten. Anyone that knew her knew of her dogs, as they went everywhere with her, even to Dairy Queen for a treat. Barbara will be greatly missed by her husband, Billy Neal; mother, Betty McMahon; children, Todd (Tracy) Davis, Michelle Dewhirst and Brandie (Paul) Mailman; step-sons, Brandon Saunders and Kevin Yager; siblings, Nancy Allman, Robert (Noweda) McNeill and Robin (Don) Lindecamp; grandchildren, Brandon, Cody, Hailey, Jake, Olivia, Zach, Brianna, Dylan, Cayden, Cassidy, Taylor, Cameron, Lane and Blake and her two beloved dogs Oscar and Bobo whom she loved just as much as her children. She was preceded in death by her grandson, Paul, Jr. A celebration of life ceremony will be held on Saturday, January 18, 2014 at 11am, at Community Life Center, 19048 Edgewater Drive, Port Charlotte.
