Mrs. Neola L. Lee

Mrs. Neola L. Lee, 59, a resident of Greensboro went to be with the Lord at Beacon Place on September 3, 2010, after one of the most courageous battles with cancer that the family and friends have ever witnessed. The cancer took her body, but our Lord Jesus Christ took her spirit and soul to heaven.

Neola was born August 26, 1951 in Sumner Washington, a daughter of Oscar and Minnie Lou Hutchison Allen. She was part Western Cherokee Indian and was very proud of her heritage. Neola was given the name “Listens in the Wind” to represent her heritage. She was an avid reader, liked to fish with her mother, play the guitar and travel. Her favorite trip was going to Alaska. She enjoyed cooking for her family and traveling every year to Pennsylvania to help with the Pow Wow, where she made many everlasting friends. She liked playing bingo, sewing and making Indian beads. We will remember her most for her sweet smile and great sense of humor. Neola was admired and loved by anyone who knew her. She loved her church, Palm Street Christian Church.

She was preceded in death by her father Oscar Allen and a sister, Pat Bethel.

Left to cherish her memory are her husband Glenn of the home to whom she was wed on September 2, 1966; daughter, Debbie Hinshaw of Greensboro; son, Brian Lee of Blossburg, Pennsylvania ; seven grandchildren, Darby, Darrah and Dawson Hinshaw of Greensboro, Josiah, Will, Aaron and Dan Lee of Blossburg, Pennsylvania; her mother, Minnie Lou Allen of Iowa and sisters, Vivian of Missouri, Brenda of Arkansas and Penny of Iowa.

To 8:00 p.m. at Hanes-Lineberry Vanstory Funeral Home, 1900 Vanstory St., Greensboro, NC 27403.Funeral services will be held on Wednesday morning at 11:00 a.m. in the Sedgefield/Guilford Memorial Park Chapel of Hanes-Lineberry Funeral 6000 High Point Road, Greensboro, NC 27407 conducted by the Reverend Bob Boyd.
