Jo Lynn Neal

(From Berna Funeral Home)

Jo Lynn Neal, age 91, passed away, Wednesday, January 11, 2023, in Centerton, Arkansas. She was born September 12, 1931, in Idabel, Oklahoma, to the late J.T. and Marjorie (Morgan) Jordan. 

She is preceded in death by her loving husband, Robert “Bob” Neal, her daughter Roberta Neal, grandson John Neal, and brother Van Jordan.

She is survived by her children; Jim Neal and wife Danetta of Centerton, Arkansas, Lanna Meyers of Bentonville, Becky Ward and husband Berry of Moore, Oklahoma, Don Neal and wife Teresa of Lanagan, Missouri, and Beth Olson and husband Alvern of Bella Vista, 9 grandchildren (Jade Neal, Jeremy Eldred, Jerry Ward, Stephanie Neal, Brian Meyers, JR Neal, Quinton Neal, Morgan Neal, and Bayleigh Olson), multiple great grandchildren, her brother Jim Jordan of Phoenix, AZ, and a host of extended family and friends.

Jo Lynn met the love of her life, Bob in 1949 and after a two-month courtship they tied the knot on June 16, 1949. They moved their family to Bentonville in 1953. They were married just two weeks shy of 60 years before Bob passed in 2009.

Jo Lynn loved Jesus and her family. She shared her faith through music for many years and passed that legacy onto her children and grandchildren. She loved decorating and made the most beautiful floral arrangements. She would have gone fishing every day of her life if she could have. She lived her life to the fullest and was an example for all of us. She will be dearly missed.
