Shirley Elizabeth (McNeal) Thompson went to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Sunday. Shirley was born in Missouri to William Monroe McNeal and Oda Louise (Langley) McNeal. Shirley was a long time resident of Semmes, Alabama. Shirley is predeceased by her mother, father, her brothers Cleveland Paul and William (Billy), and her sisters Louise Gardner, Mary Nichols, and Jean Kiley. Survivors include her siblings Molly McVay of Citronelle, Alabama, Dana McNeal of Citronelle, Alabama, Thomas Gerald McNeal of Tyler, Alabama, and her brother-in-law Cois Gardner of Semmes, Alabama. Shirley is also survived by her namesake Shirley McNeal Patrick of Navarre, Florida and many other nieces and nephews, grand nieces and nephews, and other family members. Shirley had an adventurous spirit and enjoyed several careers throughout her life. She traveled throughout the United States but spent much of her time in the Mobile, Alabama area and Shirley considered Boston, Massachusetts her second home. Shirley's devotion to her parents was exemplified by her return to the area for their care in 1980. Shirley never met an animal she didn't love and spent much of her time furthering their nurture and care. Shirley was a long time member of the Church of Jesus Christ, a church that had been established by her mother and father in Semmes, Alabama in 1952. Shirley remained a trustee of the Church until her passing. She was much loved and will be missed by her family.
