On Sunday, April 24, 2016 Floyd McNeill passed away peacefully at FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital in Pinehurst, surrounded by his family.
He retired from the U.S. Air Force in 1970 after 20 years of proud service. He worked for the state of North Carolina at McCain Sanatorium. He then owned and operated McNeill Plumbing Repair and Hillcrest Mobile Home Park in Raeford before retiring again. He served as a deacon for Raeford Presbyterian Church where he was a devoted lifelong member. He was active in Ralph A. Pandure VFW Post 10 and the Woodmen of the World in Raeford. He enjoyed time with his family, weekends traveling with his wife Joye in their motorhome, especially to Bluegrass festivals, and spending time with his friends at breakfast at Edinborough Restaurant or hanging out mornings at Daniel's Exxon. He was known for his sense of humor and quick smile. He loved seeing his grandchildren and great grandchildren. His perfect day was sitting on his front porch while visiting with family and friends.
He is survived by his loving wife of over 63 years Joye Royal McNeill; his children William McNeill and fiancé Mya Dyer, Lynn McNeill Hendrix and her husband Gary, and Sharon McNeill Wood and her husband Richard; his grandchildren Billy McNeill, Sarah McNeill, Kathleen Wood, Peyton Wood, Matthew Hendrix and his wife Stephanie, Evan Hendrix and his wife Cortney, Sydney Hendrix, and John Arthur Hendrix; and five great-grandchildren, Alyssa, Kaylee, Bailey, Hannah, and Stacy.
