NEELY,WOOLIVER Posted by Wendy Walkup-Barry <WendyGayle@aol.com> on
Sun, 22 Aug1999 Memorial service set Sunday for Neely Stone Co. founder. By World's own 
Service 3/20/99 Frank E. Neely left a legacy of stonework in Tulsa when he died last Saturday. 
He was 68. Memorial services will be held at 11 a.m. Sunday at Moore's Southlawn Funeral 
Home Chapel. A native of Tulsa, Neely learned the business of using heavy stones in 
construction from his family, and in the late 1950s he was able to start Neely Stone Co. The 
company is recognized in the commercial and residential building markets in the Tulsa area. 
Stonework for the Memorial Park Cemetery Chapel, the University of Tulsa's Reynolds Center, 
shopping malls and homes throughout the city is credited to Neely's craftsmanship. Neely 
enjoyed playing golf and bowling and was an avid TU fan. In recognition of his top season
ticket sales, he was awarded a lifetime pass to all TU athletic events. He never missed a TU
 football or baseball game.  Another one of his loves was his association with his Central High 
School class of 1949. Neely was a regular at the class' monthly luncheons and never missed a 
reunion. He was a member of the Tulsa Home Builders Association and earned the rank of 
sergeant in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He is survived by his wife, Duckie Neely; 
a son, Frankie Joe Neely; a stepson, Matthew Wooliver; and a stepdaughter, Mollie Wooliver, 
all of Tulsa. Friends are making contributions to The Salvation Army and University of Tulsa 
athletics. (submitter's relationship to Fran NEELY - first cousin once removed)
