Jeneane Neely

Jeneane Neely, age 63, passed away on June 3, 2020 due to complications from COVID-19. She was born August 22, 1956 in Bentonville, Arkansas to Adrian and Barbara Keith. She joined her future husband in moving to St. Thomas, located in the U.S. Virgin Islands in 1980. They were married the same year on St. Thomas. For many years after first moving to the Virgin Islands, Jeneane worked for West Indies Company, Frost & Company, Blazing Photos, and Neely Accounting. Her Husband, Michael Ewing Neely, preceded her death in 2007.

Jeneane loved people and had a real passion for life. She grew up an equestrian and loved competing, winning many awards in the process. She will be remembered for her energy and irresistible fun-loving personality. She loved cheering on her sons, Jon Lukas (Luke) Neely and Jacob (Jake) Steven Neely in various sporting events – usually the loudest and rowdiest fan in the stands.

Jeneane is survived by her sons, Luke and Jake Neely; sister, DeEtta Davis; brother, Mike Keith; nieces Monica Klingman and Penny Huskey; nephew, Bobby Douthit; grandson, Hudson Lukas Neely. Plus, her many friends and other family members not mentioned. All of them she loved and touched deeply.
