Delores Neal

~Delores Mae Neal (Anderson) entered into eternal rest on October 15, 2025 to be with her Lord and Savior~

She was born in Loveland, CO on May 14th, 1938. She grew up and attended schools in Loveland. She graduated from Loveland High School in 1956. Delores married Mel Neal on June 24, 1956, right after graduation. They were married for 69 wonderful years and "together" since the 1st grade. She went to Kodiak Island, Alaska with Mel where he was stationed in the Navy. She spent countless hours playing and winning several ping pong tournaments so she was able to pay for calls back home to talk with her parents in Loveland. Delores worked at Hewlett-Packard for years. She was an avid Broncos fan (having season tickets for many years). She also loved Barbies, Hallmark and many other collectibles. They traveled all over the globe collecting and sightseeing.

Delores is survived by her husband, Mel; her children, Melodee Ochoa and Carla DeArmond (Greg); her grandchildren, Stephanie McDonald (Matt), T.K. Porter (Jimmy), Blayne Ochoa (Melanie), Brandon DeArmond and Carli Johnston (Paulie); her great-grandchildren, Joslynn Dixon (Ryan), Bailey Porter (Hayley), Matthew Jones (Ashlynn), Autumn Hull (Braden), Justin Porter, Bellemy Ochoa, Cooper Johnston and Millie Johnston; her great-great-grandchildren, Brooks Hull and Isabel Dixon and her brother, Terry Anderson (Sandy).

She was preceded in death by her parents, sister, son-in-law and great-great-granddaughter.

Delores was one of a kind (the heart and soul of her family), loved by everyone that knew her and had a heart of gold. Her absence will be deeply felt and we will always carry her spirit with us.

Thank you to Pathways Hospice for your compassion and kindness.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Memorial donations may be made to Pathways Hospice in Loveland.
