She was preceded in death by her husband, David Neely Jr. in 1988; son-in-law, Lonnie Offutt in 2013; and by her special companion of 25 years, Russell Chapman in 2014.
She is survived by son, Michael Neely; daughter, Tracy Neely Offutt; Russ’ children who remain close to the family, Kym, Karen and Kelly; honorary grandchildren, Amelia, Kyle, Chap, Carson and Levi; and her dear grand cats.
She graduated from Colorado Springs High School (now Palmer) and attended the University of Colorado, Boulder for a few years before returning to the Springs. While married to David, she was a homemaker and instrumental in supporting him in his business ventures. She was the worlds’ best mother and was wholeheartedly dedicated to her family. She was a social butterfly, loving interaction with others. She was passionate about dancing, and with Russ enjoyed traveling and following a wide variety of music all over the world. She was loved by all who knew her and she will be sorely missed.
A funeral service in her honor will be held on Thursday, July 23rd, 11:00am at Swan Law Funeral Directors, 501 N. Cascade Ave., Colorado Springs. A private committal will take place at Evergreen Cemetery, where she will be laid to rest with her late husband, David.
