Marion Neal Obituary
Marion Ann "Shirley" Neal, age 87, passed away peacefully on April 3, 2023, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Shirley, the daughter of Jack and Ola (Hancock) Doolittle was born on August 12, 1935, in Del Rio, Texas. Shirley married Benny Dee "B.D." Neal on November 17, 1951, in Fort Worth, Texas. She worked as a cook for the Tulsa Public Schools. Shirley loved to travel more than B.D. loved to fish, so B.D. bought her a motorhome to take her wherever she wanted to go after they both retired in 1993. She loved fishing in Bennett Springs, Missouri but Alaska was her favorite.
Shirley was preceded in death by her husband B.D.; and her son, Ben Dee Neal III. Shirley is survived by her daughter, Lela Clifton and husband, Richard of Tulsa; grandson, Chris Clifton and wife, Kim of Tulsa; grandson, Ben Neal and wife, Amanda of Glenpool; granddaughter, Naomi Neal of Northglenn, Colorado; great-granddaughter, Saylor Clifton; and great-grandson, Xander Clifton.
