In Loving Memory of Mrs. Jennifer Kathryn Connelly McNeill

Mrs. Jennifer Kathryn Connelly McNeill, a beloved resident of Kannapolis, passed away peacefully on Monday, April 8, 2024, at Tucker Hospice House. She was 86 years old.

Jennifer was born on March 7, 1938, in Raleigh, NC, to the late Martha Caroline Green Connelly and Willard Moss Connelly. She was preceded in death by her granddaughter, Jessica McNeill Bales, her great-grandson, Oliver Bales, and six siblings.

Jennifer's life was characterized by her unwavering love, compassion, and creativity. A proud Democrat, she instilled her values in her two remarkable daughters. Jennifer was not only politically active but also an accomplished artist, finding solace and beauty in oil, watercolors, and charcoal. Her artistic talents reflected her deep appreciation for nature, especially her love for animals and the serenity of the outdoors. Jennifer's passion for cooking was evident in her delicious meals, a skill she passed down to her daughters, creating lasting memories around the family dinner table.

Jennifer is survived by her daughters, Caroline Miller of Concord, NC, and Patricia Noll of Medanales, NM, along with her grandchildren, Wesley, Shea, Aubrey, Alexandra, and Emma. Her presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

In lieu of flowers, you may make a donation to the ASPCA or The Democratic Party in Jennifer’s name.

In honoring Jennifer's wishes, a private service will be held at a later date. May her gentle spirit and enduring legacy continue to inspire and bring comfort to those who mourn her loss.
