Wadell Luther Neal

The moment has been determined by God and the task has been given to the Horton Family to advise everyone that Mr. Wadell Luther Neal departed this Life Tuesday Evening , leaving his bags behind but holding the hands of two angels dressed in white.

Details for Mr. Neal’s Life Honoring Services are finalized and have been asked to be announced thusly.  On Friday evening, beginning at 5pm until 7pm, Mr. Neal’s family has elected to have him lie in repose for a public viewing at Branches Chapel Missionary Baptist Church, Rich Square, NC.  At 2pm on Saturday afternoon , a formal “farewell” ceremony will be called to order at Branches Chapel Missionary Baptist Church Rich Square, NC.  Immediately following the formalities in the church, Mr.Neal’s earthen vessel along with his cherished family will be escorted to the Church Cemetery for Committal Rites.

He leaves to cherish his memories, his wife Reverend Joanette Neal of the home, his daughters, Tonya Gainous (Shelley) of Tampa Bay, Florida, Shenitha Bottoms of the home, Ayesha N. Harry (Walter) of Jackson, NC. Three children which he affectionately raised as his own, Gloria Drew (Peaches) of Rich Square, NC,  Randolph D. Williams of Jackson, NC and Tamara Cumbo of Jackson, NC. One aunt, Clementine Garris of Gates County, two uncles, Lorenzo Mitchell of Rich Square, NC, Wilson Neal (Scottie) of Jackson, NC, two brothers, Charles Neal (Jeanette) of Rich Square, NC, Collie Neal of Rich Square, NC, mother-in-law Johnnie Mae Johnson of New York, two brother-in-laws, Kevin Johnson of New York and Patrick Johnson (Kimberly) of Maryland. One aunt-in-law, Flora Mae Brown of Greenville, NC, twelve grandchildren, ten great grandchildren, a niece, Velecia Neal who was devoted and dedicated and host of other nieces and nephews, cousins and many friends.

One may wonder why Mr.Neal would leave his earthly belongings here when he departed this past Tuesday however, those close to him find comfort understanding that where Wadell is now there was no need for any of his earthly garments or shoes because he has a pair of Golden Slippers and a Long White Robe. 

Mr. Neal’s earthly remains rest in the care and comfort of Hortons Funeral Home and Cremations.
