Obituary for Mrs. Mattie L. Neal
Mattie Lou Neal, daughter of the late Samuel and Rebecca Collier and the wife of the late James Neal, was born on May 14, 1920 in Nottoway County, VA. She departed this life on November 26, 2015.
Mattie was educated in the Nottoway County public schools and attended the Hicks Beauty School in Richmond, VA. She received Christ at an early age and was baptized at the Jones Mission Baptist Church under the direction of the late Reverend George Thompson.
