Neal Donaldson Obituary

Neal J. Donaldson of St. Louis, MO, was man of deep faith and integrity who devoted his life to his family and his community. A civilian aerospace engineer with the U.S. Army and 50-year member of the Algabil-Freedom Masonic Lodge #636, Neal was a longtime member of Calvary Presbyterian Church and most recently a member of Faith Des Peres Presbyterian Church. He will be remembered for his quick wit, steady character, thoughtful wisdom, and unwavering commitment to family, faith, community, and country.

He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Sheryl Renick Donaldson; his children, Gregory (Ginger) Donaldson; Lucas (Marilyn) Donaldson and Matthew Donaldson; and his grandchildren.
