NEIL MACLURE Obituary

MACLURE NEIL J. Age 75, of Havertown, PA passed away on January 6, 2021. Neil was the beloved husband of 54 years to Marianne Flannery MacLure, loving father of Anne Marie Quagliariello (Denis) and Megan MacLure Taylor (Charlie), and the adored Pop of Michael, Sofia, Kenzie, Gabby, and Ian. He was the dear brother of Margery Ritchie (William) and the late Patricia O'Hagan Kyle. He is also survived by many loving in-laws, nieces, and nephews. Neil was born in Philadelphia to the late Neil and Madge MacLure. After graduating from West Catholic High School he enrolled at Drexel University but then enlisted in the Air Force and served a tour in Vietnam. After returning he finished his degree at Drexel which helped him earn a job at Conrail where he worked for 34 years until his retirement. Neil always said he was born to be retired and he spent that time at home and with his devoted family who will miss him dearly. Relatives and friends are invited to his Visitation on Saturday, January 16, 2021 at 9:30 A.M. at St. Dorothy's Church, 4910 Township Line Road, Drexel Hill, PA, 19026, and to his Funeral Mass at 11:00 A.M.
