ELTA NEIL Obituary

NEIL, ELTA Elta Stigge-Neil was was born June 26, 1922 in Barnes, Kansas. She was one of 16 brothers and sisters. Elta left Kansas at the age of 18. She married Kenneth Neil and moved to San Diego County in 1943. Elta is survived by her three children, Patricia-Neil-Frost, Gregory Neil, and Colleen Neil-Carroll; by her grandchildren, Laura Kaufman, Gary Frost, Kirsten Neil, Lyndsey Rivera; and by 10 great-grandchildren. Elta was a faithful member of Concordia Lutheran Church in Chula Vista, California, where she taught Sunday School, sang with the choir, attended Bible studies and was a member of the prayer team. Elta was a great example of love and faithfulness, and a quiet influence on many. She loved her family, and she loved her Lord Jesus. She will be missed. We are comforted to know that we will see here again in the heavenly home that our Lord has prepared for all who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
