Sharon Cressy Neel

Sharon C. Neel joined her Savior and family who have gone before her on Sunday, September 19th, 2019 after a long battle with breast cancer.

She was much loved by her family and friends here on earth, who were spread across the world.  She loved her family and her many friends.

She was born in Detroit, but lived in dozens of different places as she grew up an Army brat and then married her beloved husband, Phil Neel, who was also in the Army.

They settled in Florida for many years before retiring the beautiful and quiet countryside of the foothills of North Carolina. 

She was an avid and incredibly talented quilter, and made quilts for most of her family and many friends.  She did beautiful cross-stitch pieces and was an amazing cook. 

She is survived by her husband Phil; daughter and son-in-law Lisa and Tony Jones and her children Carissa, Matthew and Kristopher; and son Scott Neel and his four children Hunter, Austin, Christian and Sydney; and her brothers Richard Cressy, Jim Cressy, Dwight Cressy, and Rob Cressy.  

Three generations: Lisa Jones, Sharon and Carissa Hurley

In her last days she was cared for at the Woltz Hospice Home in Dobson, NC. In lieu of flowers, please donate to mtnvalleyhospice.org/donate or to your local hospice or church to help others receive the care they need in the most precious days.
