Bonnie Lee McNeal

May 3, 1950 - October 24, 2021

On the 24th day of October 2021, God received into His eternal presence the spirit of Bonnie Lee McNeal Kelley. Our Heavenly Father, preserved her life for seventy-one years, five months and twenty-four days. Ms. Bonnie Lee McNeal-Kelley was born on May 3, 1950 in Memphis, Tennessee to Willie James and Bessie Mae McNeal. Bonnie was a very loving and happy person. She loved to party and have fun. She truly loved Memphis, where she lived for many years and met and married her husband, Larone Kelly. After his passing and her health started to fail, she moved back to Saint Louis, Missouri. Bonnie had one son, DeWayne L. McNeal, who preceded her in death. She is no longer enduring pain and she is no longer suffering. We can rest assured that she is in better hands, a better place and finally at peace. Although she will be sincerely missed, we thank the “Gracious Lord” for giving us such a wonderful sister, mother, grandmother, auntie, niece and sister-in-law for seventy-one wonderful years. For His will is “Divine” and His power is “Almighty” and truly, only He knows why He called her home. If her mission in Heaven is like the one on earth, she will rise to the challenge triumphantly. The Lord called our “Precious Sister” and His “Precious Angel” home. She departed this life at 10:00 p.m. at Christian Northeast Hospital. Preceding her in death are her husband, Larone; her son; her parents; step father, Leon; grandparents; her brothers, Lewis, William and James; seven aunts, twelve uncles and six nephews. She leaves to cherish her memory: four sisters ~ Willy McNeal, “her twin” - Bobbie Watson (Adolphus), Mary Coleman (Larry) and Robbin McNeal-Thompson (Cortez Sr.); one brother ~ Ralph McNeal; four grandchildren ~ Brittany, Ashley (Vincent), Destiny (Jaylon) and DeWayne Jr.; three great grandchildren; two aunts ~ Helen McNeal of Memphis, Tennessee and Helen Oliver of Saint Louis, Missouri; fourteen nieces; sixteen nephews, twenty-three great nieces, twentythree great nephews; five great-great nephews and seven greatgreat nieces and a host of great-great-great nieces and nephews, cousins and friends.
