  3. I knew Estelle through her work and dedication to the Shepherd Center. I admired so many things about her – she was fierce, independent and giving. I loved working with her. Estelle lived with no regrets – she lived a good life. She will truly be missed. Estelle – “this is not your first rodeo!”

  4. We have so many great memories of Estelle. The farm, traveling with mom (Marian Yauss), visits and so much more. Estelle always knew who she was and the family enjoyed being around her and the rest of the McNeil clan. Our hearts go out to Patrick and Denise.

  9. Mom,
    You’ve been on my mind a lot the past couple of weeks, and I woke on the morning that you passed and decided to call you when I didn’t get an answer, then I sent you an email and then I dated your birthday card I send you every year which you’ll never see again. I love you Mom and will never forget your smile and your kindness over the years.
    Friendships and Lover are always forever no matter what.

    It’s funny how we get so caught up in ourselves that we lose track of time and those we care about most. As today becomes tomorrow and yesterday the thought of today. We suddenly awaken to find we have friends that time has taken from us and tomorrow became yesterday and today a day too late. ~T~

  10. Estelle was a lovely woman. She was so funny and brought cheer and laughter with her everywhere she went. I was lucky to have met her. Deepest condolences and much love to her family during this great loss. She was so incredibly special.

  11. The loss of our friend Estelle (Queen Mother of the Red Hat Ladies) , is heartbreaking. Death is something we never get use to. Especially when it is someone that we love. Estelle was love so much by so many. We always kept in contact with her to see how she was doing. Sometimes we would call her or she would call us. Many wonderful memories in the Over 50 Club, at St. Catherine of Siena, where we first met Estelle and Jack in 1998. Jack and I were pretty close because I was in the Navy and was a Yeoman, and Jack was a Chief Yeoman and Marian and I retired from Department of the Navy. All the trips to New York, Atlantic City, Sight & Sound Theater, cruises and other trips where we had big fun. What can I say to the family and friends other than we feel your pain. God Bless Estelle and may God Have Her in His Arms. God Bless Estelle family that are suffering the most, because of their loss.
    Love, David & Marian Wilson, Sr.

  12. Momma McNeil was a dear and close friend of mine for over 35 years. We had a lot of fun working, traveling, and socializing together. She will be greatly missed.
    Hugs and prayers for William, Denise, Patrick, and their families.
    God bless….Bobbi

  14. Since we heard the news of Estelle’s (aka Momma McNeil) passing, a flood of memories have come back to me. Patrick and I became best friends our first year in High School some 45 years ago. This is when I first met the force of nature that is Estelle. From visits to the cabin, to Legion dinners, to spending the night before Debbie and I got married over at the McNeil’s house, because my own house was too crazy with out-of-town family; Momma McNeil was as constant as the North Star with her sharp wit and a big hug. She will be missed. But she is watching over us with that great cloud of witnesses that the Book of Hebrews speaks of, comprised of our family and friends who have gone on before us. May the Lord Jesus comfort us all as He has welcomed Estelle home.

  15. I came to know Estelle through volunteering with the Shepherd Center. She was a hard worker, always capable, and had a wonderful, quirkly sense of humor. She was fun to be with. I will never forget “This is not my first rodeo!” Just thinking about her brings a smile to my face.
