Wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, neighbor and friend, Neola engaged life with a genuine and inspiring love. She will be deeply missed by those whose lives she enriched throughout her 84 years of mortality.

She was the youngest of 21 children. She embraced life and learning, graduating from BYU with a teaching degree and subsequently teaching in New Harmony, Utah. It was there she waited three long years for Walter, her fianc , while he served in the Armed Forces in World War II. Married in the St. George Temple, they settled in Las Vegas, Nevada. There they raised three children. Judy, Gary, and Debbie. While in Las Vegas, Neola was responsible for starting the first government Headstart program in Las Vegas. She then started a Jewish kindergarten program for Temple Beth Sholom. Under her care as Principal, it began as one classroom and flourished into 8. Its reputation was that of the best private kindergarten programs in Las Vegas. It is still in existence today. She left Las Vegas because her husband was transferred to Utah with the Union Pacific Railroad. She has been a volunteer at Lakeview Hospital for over 30 years and received awards for her outstanding work there. She could be found there every Wednesday afternoon, and it was there, on this Wednesday, where sudden heart failure took her from her friends and family here on Earth.
