Ronda Lynette Neal

Ronda Lynette Neal was loved by many and will be missed tremendously by all who knew her. Ronda’s faith became sight on Saturday, January 8th, 2022, at the age of 56, surrounded by those she held most dear.
For Ronda, life’s greatest joy was being a mother. Her joy multiplied when she became a “Nonnie” to Ahri Lynn.
Ronda, a graduate of Holden High School, never lost her love for the color purple.
Though she relocated to Denham Springs, for a brief period, the banks of Hog Branch beckoned her home, where she lived for most of her life.
Family meant everything to Ronda. Spending time with her brothers’ and sister’s families was always a priority in her world. Whether enjoying Neal Family Sunday Dinner, a niece’s or nephew’s birthday party or celebrating a life event, Ronda always invested herself.
Ronda’s work ethic was not to be surpassed! She began working at the Denham Springs WalMart as a young adult and her employment there continued until her death, some 35 years later.
Ronda is survived by her son,  Damian Parks and wife Aimee; her daughter, Deanna Livingston and husband Chase; her granddaughter, Ahri Lynn Livingston; her niece, who was like a daughter, Mandy Jenkins; brothers and sisters, Reggie and Margie Neal, Ritchie and Lisa Neal, and Cheryl Neal; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Ronda was preceded in death by her parents, Warren and Mary Evelyn Neal; a brother, Randall Neal; a sister, Risha Neal; a nephew, T. J. Jenkins; paternal grandparents, Henry and Delia Neal; and maternal grandparents, Ventis and Margaret Mitchell.
Pallbearers will be Damian Parks, Chase Livingston, Reggie Neal, Ritchie Neal, Josh Neal and Jacob Neal. Honorary pallbearers will be Ryan Neal, Adam Navarre and Hunter Hutchinson. Visitation will be held at Magnolia Baptist Church, Holden, Thursday, January 13, 2022 from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM and again on Friday, January 14, 2022 from 10:00 AM until religious services at 12:00 PM conducted by Rev.
