McNeer

Annie Elora McNeer died on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Visitation and viewing for family and friends will be held at Lagrone Blackburn-Shaw on Martin Road, Tuesday, November 10th from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. Private graveside services will be held at a later date.

Mrs. McNeer was born October 27, 1929, to Bryan and Edna Thrasher of Walnut, Mississippi. She married her late husband, J.L. McNeer, in Jackson, Mississippi, on April 8, 1949. As a Military family, they moved to Japan and upon their return to the States, they settled in Amarillo in 1957. J.L. died in 1983.

Annie worked as a Sales Associate for many years at Colberts and provided home care for more than 20 years. She enjoyed dancing in her younger days with her husband at the VFW, playing slots at the Casinos, and made many friends at Bingo. Her greatest concerns were for others, making sure they had eaten or had a jacket in the cold. She was a wonderful cook who provided many Holiday meals from her Mississippi cuisine.

She leaves behind her oldest son, Walter and wife Carol, of Amarillo; her daughter, Linda and husband David, of Memphis, TX; a granddaughter that she raised, Jennifer and husband Jimmy, of Amarillo. Also, six other grandchildren, Amy, Frank, Crystal, Tyson, Sara, Katy and many great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, J.L., and her son Roy Neal McNeer.

Memorials to the VFW Post 1475 in Amarillo are appreciated.
