Patrick McNeeley Obituary
McNEELEY, Sr., 90
Cleveland Electric
Illuminating Co.
LAKELAND - Pat McNeeley, age 90, resident of Lakeland died on D-Day, June 6, 2011 of natural causes. Born 1920 in Cleveland, Ohio, he was retired from the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company.
Pat is survived by his wife of 56-years, Maggie; son and daughter -in-law, Patrick Jr. and Paola McNeeley, of Atlanta; daughter and son-in-law, Drs. Melody & Rod Jurado, of Tampa; grandson and wife, Tommy and Stephanie McNeeley, of Tampa; grandson Tim McNeeley, missionary in Honduras; and great granddaughter, Estrid.
Pat enjoyed an infectious energy, love of life, and sense of humor that drew others to him. He was a hero to our nation serving in WWII; a hero to his children who he taught to laugh, love, and learn; a hero to his siblings who he rescued from an orphanage; and, a hero to all who were blessed to know his positive, sweet spirit. He is loved, honored, and will be dearly missed.
A graveside full military honors service will be held at the National Cemetery in Bushnell at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to: Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine, 5232 Broadview Rd., Richfield, Ohio 44286-9608.

Hi Aunt Maggie and Family,
Larry and I and my family, John & Melissa and children Jared & Josh and Terry, Andrew and children Jason & Brittany along with my parents Don and Kay and Uncle Bob send our condolences. Maureen Wise from Maryland has kept me informed with what has been going on with Uncle Pat, we are all so sorry. He was a great man and a funny one at that. I remember on Holland Dr. when we would come over for visits and the faces he would make to make us Pat, Melody and I laugh. Had some great times when we were small. Of all that he went through, you and the family can have some comfort that he is at peace now. Take Care of yourself and take one day at a time. Debbie and Larry Crawford and family.
