Glenda Neal

Glenda Constance Neal was born on September 20, 1948. She was the first daughter born to  Mary Lou and Woodrow Jackson in Georgetown South Carolina. She moved to Philadelphia with family at an early age where she attended Philadelphia public schools.

She married her first husband James Edward Johnson Sr. and from that union they had three children. James Edward Johnson Jr., Mary Jeanida Johnson (Cream Puff) who proceeded her in death, and Anthony Wesley Johnson.

She was well known as ‘Lady G’ amongst her friends and considered the personification of a Diva. Glenda’s work family was always her largest support system during difficult times. At work is where she met the love of her life Royce Neal who she married on May 5, 1989 and had been married for 31 years.

Their fashion sense was above anyone else. When they stepped into the room they would have matching or well- coordinated outfits. They never allowed grass to grow under their feet. They loved to travel and go to great restaurants and diners.
