Katheryn Denzel Neal, 65, of Middletown passed away surrounded by family Saturday, October 16, 2021 at her residence. She was born July 2, 1956 in Henry County, Indiana to Gladys (Willis) Copeland.
Kathy dedicated her life to family and racing. She was a cosmetologist before she began helping Jack with their car and racing business. She was active in showing Tennessee walking horses for many years.
She was deeply loved and admired for her generosity and dedication in always finding ways to help family and friends in any way she could. In her last days as she sat with family, one of her last requests was to kiss spooky and bear every chance she got and tell them “momma loves them”!
Survivors include her loving husband of 42 years, Jack Neal; she leaves behind 4 daughters, Lori Kampfer (Martin) of Leawood, Kansas, Jami (Jason) Hamel of Pendleton, Denell (Ryan) Gedek of Middletown and Lisa (Robert) Donndelinger of Ft.
