Patricia Ann Neale- Ford was born on Friday, September 15, 1950 in Westville, Oklahoma, the daughter of Keith and Fern (Stilwell) Neale. She attended school and then obtained her Bachelor’s Degree from NSU in Education. She was employed as a librarian for the Eastern Oklahoma District Library System. She was a retired Ordained Minister for the Assemblies of God, and there was nothing that meant more to Patricia than evangelizing the love of God to everyone that heard her voice. She dedicated her life to serving God at the age of 13 and preached of his love and forgiveness for 58 years. She was a pianist, and wrote music including one hymn, “Bethel, the House of God,” that was published. Those who had needs knew that they had a friend in Patricia. She would see that the hungry had food, those who had no clothes were warm, and those who needed prayer had the best prayer warrior on their side. She loved people and would help anyone, with anything that was hers to give. She was kind, generous, loving, and, above all, had a servant’s heart. She implemented community programs for people so they could read books. She could play just about any instrument she got her hands on, and always to the glory of God. What little spare time she had was reserved for reading, being outdoors, and fishing and bird watching. Her smile and happy heart was because of her love for her family that she adored. Any opportunities she had to be with her children, grandchildren and family were very happy for Patricia.
