On Friday, September 17, 2021, our beloved Terri Russell Neal earned her wings and went home to be with her heavenly Father.
Terri was born April 26, 1988, in Plainfield, New Jersey to Ronda Russell Brown and Bruce Finney.
Terri attended school in Plainfield, New Jersey. She worked as an employee at Sam’s Club and Applebee’s. Terri was a homemaker who enjoyed taking care of her family; it was her pride and joy where she found the most fulfillment out of life.
Terri married the love of her life, Ruben McCalister Neal, on February 18, 2012 and together they have six beautiful children: Davian Daley (DJ), Ruben III, Kayden, Layla, Jaylen, and Levi Neal who all she leaves to cherish her memory.
Terri loved to decorate her home with inspirational quotes that made her home feel warm and loved. Her favorite time of the year was fall (Halloween). Anyone who knew her could attest that her smile was contagious and that laughing with her was inevitable. Whenever there was a family gathering, we knew Terri would bring the bling and glamour. Terri loved to shop, watch scary movies and watch praise dances. She was an active member with childhood and pregnancy classes on Facebook. She leaves behind a legacy of what it means to take pride in and to love what you do. She taught her family how to be blessed, strong, courageous, and most important to walk by faith and love each other.
Terri is preceded in death by her twins, Ruben Jr. and Ella LaCole Neal, they are together again resting in the arms of their mother; cousin, Nick Russell, who will be resting along with her.
She leaves to cherish her memory her mother, Ronda (Glen) Russell Brown (NY); father, Bruce Finney (NJ); grandmother, RoseMarie Russell (NJ); brothers, Bruce Finney (Akron), Chris Finney (NJ), George Finney (NJ), Dashan Finney (PA), Jireh Watertown (NY); sisters, Brandi Finney (Akron), Shondell Finney (NJ), Crystal Finney (NJ), Britney Johnson Finney (NJ); aunts, RoseMarie Wright (FL), Eileen Joell (GA); uncles, Henry Russell (OH), Tony Russell (NJ); mother-in-law, Ella (Gina) Neal; father in-law, Ruben (Daine) McCalister (Cleveland); sisters-in-law, Ebony Neal, Bridgett McCalister (Akron), Brittany (Robert) Thomas, Jasmine McCalister (Cleveland); aunts-in-law, Sheridan Shropshire, Vernia (Jeff) Johnson and Delana Neal; uncles- in-law, Lonza (Marietta) Neal, Gregory (Caroline) Neal, Terry (Stefania) Neal, Ricky (Kathy) Neal, Jeff (Jazmar) Neal and Shawn (Rachelle) Barclay; special cousin, Markedith Porter; a host of nephews, nieces, cousins, and loving family and friends.

Terri,
It's still unreal that you're gone. Each time I think of you. I feel like crying and have many regrets that we couldn't laugh in person one more time. I know the past has gone, and the future is no longer for you. I promise you that. I will continue to fight for our child, and see that he graduated high school. Which is what we spoke about on our last call.
Singerly,
Davian Daley a.k.a Rushee
