Jo Ann Fecci Neal

She passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on December 2, 2007, at the age of 70.

Jo Ann was born on October 22, 1937 and was married to her husband, Bob Neal, for 33 years.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Lucille and Joe Fecci and many aunts and uncles.

Jo Ann's wonderful light will be deeply missed by her surviving family including her husband, Bob Neal, her sister and brother-in-law, C'Leste and Minor Huck, her brother, David Fecci and her niece and godchild, Courtney Killian of Los Angeles, California, her many close friends, and by her dog and constant companion, Missy.

She graduated from Incarnate Word High School and Incarnate Word College and worked as a Medical Technologist for many years.

Jo Ann was a devout Catholic who quietly practiced and lived her faith. For many years she attended daily Mass and brought communion to the sick, through her participation in the Homebound Ministry of the Sick. Some of her most treasured times were spent with the Wednesday Morning Bible Study Group and Monday Night Out with the girls.

She especially enjoyed many years of traveling with her husband. Jo Ann was a friend to all, and an inspiration to all that knew her. She will be sorely missed by all of us that loved her dearly.

The family acknowledges and thanks Lori Saldana and the staff of Caring Seniors Service, Martha Gonzales, RN, Michelle Governs, LVN and the staff of Vitas Hospice and all the physicians who cared for her over the years.

Pallbearers are John Davis, Dr. Minor L. Huck, Robert Kiolbassa, Chris Maguire, John Valentine and John Walsh. Honorary Pallbearers will be all the members of her Wednesday Morning Bible Study Group and Monday Night Out Group, and her Bunco Group.
