It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Beverly Ann McNeely on 09-15-2025 at the age of 64 in West Calcasieu Cameron Hospital.

 Beverly Ann McNeely was born on 02-25-1961 at Orange Memorial Hospital in Orange, Texas and was living in Vinton, Louisiana at the time of her passing. Beverly was a hard worker with a passion for animals and the outdoors. She dedicated much of her life to training racehorses, barrel racing and traveling. Beverly’s animals, especially her beloved dogs, were her constant companions and were treated with the love and devotion she would have given her own children, had she had any. 

She is survived by brother Craig "Poke Chop" McNeely, wife Charmin (Swire) McNeely; niece Andalee (McNeely) McKinney, husband Justin McKinney; Great-nephew Kai Dakota McKinney and Great-niece Raven Shaye McKinney; best friend and honorary sister Sandra (Swire) Vincent, husband Randy Vincent; along with many aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends. She was preceded in death by her Parents, Henry "Mac" McNeely and Nelda (Britt) McNeely and Brother Tracy Lee McNeely.

 There are no funeral services being held. Grave side burial to be determined. Donations can be made to family for help with expenses or if rather can donate to an Animal Shelter or rehabilitation center of your choice, honoring Beverly's lifelong love and care for animals.
