Barbara Neely Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Hoffmann Meyers Givnish Funeral Home on Aug. 26, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Barbara Jean Neely, age 81, of Bensalem, PA, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, August 24, 2025, surrounded by love.

Born in South Carolina on August 25, 1943, Barbara was the cherished daughter of the late Charity Lea (née Hardy) and Clarence Crosby. Her life was defined by quiet strength, deep faith, and unwavering devotion to her family.

She was the cherished wife of the late George Neely, with whom she shared a lifetime of love and devotion.

Barbara found joy in life's simple pleasures-gathering with loved ones for lively games of Pokeno, exploring new places with a sense of wonder, and losing herself in the pages of a good book. Her warmth and curiosity touched everyone around her.

Barbara leaves behind her beloved daughters, Rona Page and Tibette Hill (William), who will carry forward her legacy of grace and resilience. She also leaves behind her cherished grandchildren-Darien, Jaron, Taryn, Tamara, and Tristan-each a reflection of the love and joy she so generously gave. Her extended family and dear friends, touched by her gentle spirit and unwavering kindness, will forever hold her memory close.

Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance on Friday, August 29, 2025, at Christian Life Church, 3100 Galloway Road, Bensalem, PA 19020. A viewing will be held from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM, followed by a funeral service beginning at 12:00 PM to honor Barbara's life and faith.
