Patricia Mcneely Obituary
Patricia Doherty McNeely, 76, passed away on Sunday, November 7, 2021. She was predeceased by her husband, Timothy E. McNeely, in 2014.
Pat was born and raised in Latrobe, PA. She opted to combine education with life experiences by attending colleges in 3 states followed by graduate studies in 3 others. Landing in Atlanta in the early 70's, she continued her pursuit of varied interests in her career choices. Social work was followed by social research which led to management consulting for 2 international firms. Deciding her in-town neighborhood was lacking a seafood establishment, she opened Atlanta's first mobile restaurant. 'Fish Bites' proved to be the ultimate settling experience for her by introducing her to a body of lifelong friends and her future husband.
She and Tim moved out to 'The Farm', their beloved country home where they enjoyed 28 years of raising rescue animals, repurposing everything acquired through Tim's deconstruction business and living a rather magical existence with their Farm Family.
Pat is survived by her brothers, Joseph Doherty (Gretchen) of Chicago, IL, Jack Doherty of Conyers, GA, and Timothy Doherty (Mercy) of Stuart, FL; brothers-in-law, Michael McNeely of Americus, GA, Daniel McNeely of Roswell, GA, Patrick McNeely (Lucy) of Alpharetta, GA; 10 nieces and nephews. She also leaves behind 4 fainting goats, numerous chickens and guinea hens, 2 cats and KoKo and Grace, her devoted dog companions.
An informal celebration service will be held at The Farm at a later, safer date.
In lieu of flowers, please bestow an act of kindness on an animal or person in need.

Pat was a special friend to rescues like ours and especially to the animals she loved on the Farm. There're not enough like her and she is missed.

My deepest condolences go to Pat's family, her brothers whom she spoke of often, and Tim's family. She and I were very close friends when she lived in Atlanta. We worked together at a mental health center, lived in the same neighborhood and spent a lot of time making "Fishbites" a reality. It was proven to be a great concept, but she was a little ahead of her time. We had so many great times together. I'm sorry we didn't see each other more after her move to Conyers, but I will always cherish our friendship. The pictures are of a few of our fun times: Pat in costume at my annual Halloween party (she was very creative); the two of us on our annual trip to Destin, FL; and Pat bravely learning to ride a moped in Bermuda. These are just a few of the wonderful days we and other friends spent together...such fond memories. May she rest in peace.

One never realizes how much someone is missed until they are gone. Left with memories now. She was so great and could be so kind to people and animals. She is so missed, but is with Tim..............Peace
