Writing for my Dad, he's not able to. Neta was the best there was. She worked hard all her life, even after retiring. Always out pulling weeds in the yard. She loved everyone and animals too. She enjoyed sitting out with a cup of coffee waiting on the deer to come down and eat. Neta liked feeding all the critters and loved her cats. Boy did she have a bunch of them, all strays but she cared about them all. We had golden years together. Neta I love you and miss you, see you again one day. Your brother Ray.

She was my Aunt and friend, such a kind and loving lady. Everyone knew Elneta, she was always busy helping someone. From helping at the same home she was in calling bingo to making food baskets at Christmas for neighbors. We had so many good times together. I will treasure all our late night phone calls. She was loved dearly and I will always miss her. Her hands where always reaching out to others, true hands of Christ. I know when she entered heaven she heard { Well done faithful servant }

We loved this sweet Sister in Christ. She was a joy to be around. She loved people and she showed her love to you ..........you just knew she was blessed with Jesus' love and wanted to show everyone that she was one of God's children. I remember her coming to the nursing home when she was able to drive and get around about 8 yr ago and my mother would love to play Bingo and she would be the one who came and volunteered to be the caller. She was very good at that and all loved her. Our prayers go out to all the loved ones and friends for comfort in their loss (our loss ........heaven's gain)

She was a delightful person to talk to. I will always remember all her rock hounding stuff. I will always treasure the piece of stone she gave me while visiting her in Arkansas. I made a necklace for myself before Andy and I left to go back to Oregon. She will be missed by all her family and friends.
