Inolia Joyce McNeil was born on October 19, 1928 in Omaha, Nebraska. The gates of heaven opened up and she entered in on September 15, 2022. The love of her life was the Lord Jesus Christ and Timothy McNeil Jr. whose love continued in their marriage for over 71 years. She gave her life to the Lord at a very young age serving at Mt. Nebo Baptist Church and Clair Memorial United Methodist Church for over 50+ years. Inolia sang in the youth choir and taught Sunday school. She was a loving mother, wife, sister, aunt, grandmother and great grandmother. Family and friends called her "Nola." Dad called her his "Queen." Our mother was a great witness of the Lord and prayer warrior alongside our dad, traveling to many towns in Nebraska teaching souls how to be powerful prayer advocates.

After graduating from Central High School, she went on to become a cosmetologist, then became a bookkeeper at Christ Child Community Center. Our mother was a spirit-filled believer with a spirit of excellence who was loving and caring; teaching us that Jesus is first in our lives and helped us with our lessons of Math, English, Spelling and Science. She was a wonderful mom and cook who taught us the Old and New Testament Bible stories and made sure we knew all the books of the Bible. She is survived by her four loving children: Eulalia J. Bradley, Dennis W. McNeil, Bryan E. McNeil (Joyce), Janine C. Prater (James), sister, Ava Baker, sister-in-law, Linda Sayers. Grandchildren: Qianna Johnson, Sean Bradley (Amy), Shanetta LaTouche, Tanisha Flowers (Jerald), Joshua McNeil (Jaimilynn), Nisha Davis (Bernard) Jamaal McNeil and a host of other relatives and friends.
