Betty Jane McNeely passed from this world on Friday Dec. 8, 2017 at Twin Rivers Nursing home from Alzheimer's disease. She passed peacefully and was surrounded by family. She was a precious mother, wife, sister, and grandmother.
She was born July 12, 1944 in Cape Girardeau, MO, to John and Mary Baker and is preceded in death earlier this year by her husband, Robert McNeely; she is also preceded in death by one son Billy McNeely; one sister Virginia Raley and one brother Eugene Baker.
She leaves behind two sons Clifton McNeely and Steven McNeely and wife Suzi; two daughters Cathy Franklin and husband Ricky, and Vicky Hood and husband Brian; two sisters Trenda Heflin and Wanda Cornellier; six grandchildren Matthew, Craig, Austin, Mary, Lili, and Parker, and one great grandson Mason Robert.
She had a sweet and loving soul and will forever be remembered and adored by her family and those that knew her. Rest in peace sweet Mother until we are together again.
There will be a Memorial Service for both our parents at a later date. Family and close friends will be notified. The Cremation will be handled by Ruggles-Wilcox Funeral Home.
