Neal, Patricia Marie (nee Keyes), passed away on Friday, October 10, 2025, at the age of 58.

Beloved wife for thirty years of Brian Neal; mother of Edward (Jenna), Keenan, and Vivian Neal; grandmother of Sawyer, Lillie, and Palmer; sister of Debbie, Denise, Donna, Pauline, Gary, and Michael; daughter of Pauline and Gordon; dear aunt, cousin, and friend to many.

Born on November 9, 1966, on the north side of Chicago, to Gordon and Pauline Keyes, Patricia "Patty" Marie Neal grew up surrounded by her close-knit family and lifelong friends.  She married the love of her life, Brian, in Chicago in November 1994.  Together, they raised their three children in Glenview, Illinois, before moving to St. Louis in 2002, where they built a beautiful life filled with love, laughter, and friendship.

A devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, Patty found her greatest joy in her family-especially in spending time with her grandchildren, Sawyer and Lillie, in Austin, and baby Palmer in St. Louis.  She was passionate about fitness, friends, and family, and she approached life with warmth, humor, and an open heart.  A talented crocheter, she lovingly made afghan blankets for friends and family, each one a reflection of her generosity and care.

The family has had a home in Boca Grande Florida for the past 15 years and it became Patty's favorite place to spend time.  Long walks on the beach, watching beautiful sunsets with a glass of Peter Michael chardonnay and enjoying great meals at the local, old Florida restaurants.  Patty was outgoing and had a competitive streak that came out in corn hole (bags) tournaments on the Boca beach with good friends.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the advance glioblastoma research at Siteman Cancer Center and WashU Medicine, MSC 1082-414-2555, 7425 Forsyth Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63105.  Please indicate that the gift is in memory of Patricia M.
