Educated locally, Neva graduated from St. Mary High School with the class of 1962. She was born and raised with the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. Neva was proud of her heritage and enjoyed camping with her family at Sherman Park in Sault Ste Marie. She started her career working at O’Tooles and PX Restaurant before opening her own catering company named J&R Catering, which she owned and operated until her retirement. Neva could often be found in a casino. She was not particular on which one, she loved them all with video poker being her favorite. In her free time, Neva enjoyed bowling, bingo, and playing pogo. Spending time with her family was her favorite pastime. She will be greatly missed.
