Donna Mae Shultz was born March 13, 1929, in rural Scott Township, Floyd County, a daughter of Galen George and Esther Augusta (Uker) Shultz, and died Sunday (April 19, 1998) at the Muse Norris Hospice Inpatient Unit in Mason City from complications of multiple sclerosis.

She received her education in the Greene Public Schools, graduating in 1946. On November 26, 1946, she was united in marriage to Joseph Raymond Neal at Luther Church of the Incarnate in Columbia, S.C. To this marriage was born three children. They farmed in the rural Greene area their entire marriage. While raising her children, she was a 4-H leader for several years.

For the past 35 years, Donna struggled to overcome many of the obstacles of her illness. Her positive attitude and strength, along with her caring and compassion toward others served as a role model for her children and family members.

Donna’s interests included classic movies, dancing and music, especially big band music. She enjoyed playing games with her family members. She will be remembered as a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend who loved her family very much.

She was baptized on June 6, 1929, and confirmed a member of St. Peter Lutheran Church in Greene on March 26, 1944.

Living family members include her loving husband of 51 years, Joe, of Greene; two daughters, Bonita Neal, of Lancaster, Calif., and Margaret and her husband, George Nash, of Rockford; one son, Tom and his wife, Susan Neal, of Kansas City, Mo.; six grandchildren, Dan and his wife, Rhonda Neal, Stacy and her husband, Dan Rooney, Matt and Lucas Neal, Aaron and Ryan Nash; four great-grandchildren, Megan, Benjamin and Brooke Neal, and Brendan Rooney; her mother, Esther Shultz, of Greene, two brothers, Galen "Bud" Shultz, of Greene, and Donald Shultz, of Mason City; and one sister, Lois Adams, of Marble Rock.

Those planning an expression of sympathy may direct memorials to the Donna Mae Neal Memorial Fund in care of the family.
