Arvella Neal,mother, grandmother, and friend went home to be with her Lord and Savior at the age of 91 years, on December 3, 2019.

Born and raised on a farm in Oklahoma, Arvella was a beloved parent and wife, an avid gardener, a skillful seamstress, devoted teacher and home maker.

Professionally, she taught school and was particularly committed to teaching elementary aged students, as she was convinced that with the proper educational and spiritual foundation, all children could enjoy school, as well as excel in life.

She is survived by her daughters, Loni and Trish; son-in-law, Edd; daughter-in-law, Linda; grandchildren, Leah, Jessica, and Anissa; siblings; nieces; and nephews. Her home going will be celebrated on December 9, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at Autumn ridge Church in the Timothy Chapel. Interment will be at Oil Springs Cemetery in Carter County, Oklahoma.

She was preceded in death by her son and husband.
