Dolores Neighley Obituary
She was born Aug. 11, 1929, in Bairdford, West Deer Township, the daughter of the late Carl and Elsie Omland Ebel.
She was the beloved wife of the late Robert Neighley; loving mother of Sue Riley (late James) and Jayne Cain (Bernard "Bing"); sister of Sharma Smith (late Larry); aunt of Gretchen Smith and Carl Smith (Shawna); dear grandmother of Leslie Riley Pankiewicz (David), Lindsey Springer (Chris), David Cain (Bethany) and Cherie Peters (Kristopher "Kip"); great-grandmother of Annabelle Springer, Kendall Cain, Tyler Cain, Kelsey Cain, Kalan Peters and Karter Peters. She also was survived by many additional nieces, nephews and cousins.
Music was always an important part of Toodie's life - from playing the piano for round and square dances as a teenager, to her career spanning 49 years as a church organist. She served Bairdford United Methodist Church for 37 years and Deer Creek United Presbyterian Church for 12 years. She also played the organ for worship services at St. Barnabas Nursing Home for 18 years. She was a member of the Eastern Star of Mars, West Deer Golden Years Club, Hampton AARP and Mars AARP. She performed in skits and sing-a-long programs and had a "kitchen band." Toodie entertained at churches and nursing homes.
Special thanks to the teams at Harmony at Harts Run and Monarch Hospice for their loving care and support.
