Gale Lloyd McNeal, 77, of Circleville, passed away peacefully January 28, 2021. He was born in his home in South Perry, Ohio on October 16, 1943 to the late Harold Lloyd and Mary Frances (Ricketts) McNeal. Gale graduated from Laurelville High School and through the years he was a block layer, then a self-employed business owner of “McNeal’s Carpet”. He was very artistic and had a green thumb, so he naturally really enjoyed working in his yard and landscaping. Gale was preceded in death by his wife, Veronica and survived by his step-daughter Vicki (Jarrett) Jumper of Delaware, OH; his first wife, Carrie, and their 3 children, Ivan McNeal, Kenneth (Patti) McNeal, Venessa (Matthew) Coppess of Hilliard, OH; sisters, Helen (Jim) Smith, Beverly (Dave) Karr, Kay Barnes all of South Perry area; step-siblings, Tom (Peggy) Wolfe, Pete, Georgian, Mary Jane, Rita, Tina; grandchildren, Chad (Tara) McNeal, Carrie Lynn McNeal, Hailey, Cole and Conor Coppess, Benjamin and Lane; step-grandchildren, JR and Austin Ackerman; step-mother, Mary Ann McNeal; mother in-law, Dottie Huffines; special niece, Tina Sue McCoy; special pet, Taco; and many extended family and friends.
