Ruth Naomi Neal

Ruth was born March 20th 1929 to William and Birdie Ormandy. She was the last of 8 children, predeceased in death by her parents, brothers Bill, James, Donald and Robert and by her sisters Margaret Ormandy, Esther Berberick and Patricia Bittinger.

She attended Clinton Kelly High School but received her diploma attending night school at Lincoln High. That is where she met her love, Allan Neal. They were married for 57 happy years before his passing in 2007.

Ruth is survived by her children Bridget, Garrett, Matthew, Andrew (Ella), Cameron (Abbe) and Graden Neal; eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Ruth was always ready with a joke or a song for anyone she met. No mattter her troubles she remained upbeat. In fact, you could say she was always "fine as frogs hair split four ways!"

Special thanks to the professionals at St. Anthony's Village and the Marquis Center for their help and dedication to our mother.
