Beloved daughter, sister, mother, grandmother and cherished friend, age 62 of Houston, Texas, formerly
of Pearland. Born in Pasadena, Texas to Loyd and Laura Wilson; Neita grew up and graduated high
school in Pearland, TX. She was an exceptional daughter, sibling and friend to so many. Known as a
positive light who greeted all with a smile.
Neita married her high school sweetheart, Jay French shortly after graduating and together they welcomed
son, Jason Alan French and three years later daughter, Shannon Michelle French into the world. In 1989
Neita married the love of her life, Tim Felty and together they welcomed son, Blake Everett Felty in
1992. Neita had a love of traveling, baseball, and giving back to her community. Of all her loves, she relished time spent with her boisterous family, and took great pride in her children’s success. Her most recent favorite role was that as a grandparent. She treasured time with her grandkids and loved being their
‘Pinky,’ never failing to spoil them with treats or fun experiences, and always imparting patience and kindness. Everyone who knew Neita knew how much she loved the Houston Astros. She was likely seen in her Houston Astros gear on game days, and many have heard stories of her and her closest friends, Keith and Karen Nutt, attending games and cheering on their home team. Neita was called by God to help others and did so by being an active volunteer with the City of Houston’s homeless. She could often be found passing out essential need’s kits, water and blankets she stocked in her car, going above and beyond to SEE those that society had looked away from. Neita had an infectious smile and an endearing, loving personality. Friends and family looked to her as she often found a way to turn a negative situation into a positive opportunity. Most importantly, she will be remembered for her unwavering love of Jesus Christ and her relationship with our Lord and Savior. Neita had a sharp and analytical mind, she was passionate about her work as Controller at Holmes Investments where she was currently employed.
