Pat Neely is new resident
"We boughl property in this
area three years ago," says Pat
Neely. "We had vacationed here
and liked Mason ('ounty and
wanted to live here.
"'We began building last
February, while we were still
living in our California home. In
April we came to Washington,
and stayed in Port Orchard while
completing our rural home. We
were just ready to start painting
the house when it burned down.
We had to start all over.
"We went back to Los
Angeles. We'd sold our house
there and had to be out by the
end of May, so we moved a
trailer onto our Arcadia area
land and started building once
again in July. The house is
completed now, except for the
basement."
When Pat came to the
Shelton area it was with a deep
desire to work for the welfare of
animals. She volunteered her
services to Mason County
Citizens For Animals, and has
assisted with office duties and
served as a salesperson in the
MCCFA Thrift Shop.
'Tve always been interested
in animals; their control and
their well-being," she declares,
"and I'd like to be a part of a
worthwhile project to benefit
animals."
Pat was born in Minneapolis,
Minnesota. After her graduation,
she was married to Glenn Neely
and the couple left for
California.
"We lived there from 1952
until coming to Sheiton in
1978," Pat reminisces. "In
California I worked for Pacific
Telephone as an engineering aide.
"This was a very diversified
job involving drawing, computer
work and secretarial duties for
engineers, it was demanding
work. The engineers in the
planning group gave me a general
idea and after that I took over. I
gathered figures, ran a computer
program and drew a graph to be
published. 1 did it all, and they
simply proofed it.
"I worked for four engineers,
and they all delegated work to
me. They taught me my job.
Then they sat back and watched
me do it!'"
For IS years Pat Neely held
this job, However, she sometimes
took time off in the summer to
devote her time to a Girl Scout
troop.
"I became a Girl Scout
leader when my daughter, Heidi,
now 24 years old, became a
Brownie. I was a leader for 11
years. Heidi and her husband and
their two children now live in
Kent.
"Our son, Bill, his wife and
their two children live in Port
Orchard. Kriss, another daughter,
lives on Whidbey Island with her
husband and their two children.
Glenn Jr. and our daughter,
Jade, still live in California."
In the city Pat and her
family lived in a condominium.
"We had a cock-a-poo," she
recalls. "We paid a dollar for
,him. He was originally Kriss'
dog, but he became my pet. We
also had a huge black cat; and
mice; and guinea pigs; and
whatever else the kids brought
home!"
Pat and her husband now
own two dogs. The golden Lab is
called Fang, and the German
shepherd answers to Muskett.
The young dogs will soon attend
Mason County Schutzhund Club
obedience classes.
Golf is Pat Neely's sport, and
she plans to join a local club.
Her hobbies include the
refinishing of furniture, sewing,
cooking and horticulture.
iii
"1 make iny own clothing,"
she says, "and I've completed
two handmade baby quilts. Now
I'm planning a king-size quilt, i
quilt them, tot).
"'Outdoor gardening interests
me as much as the growing of
houseplants. I'm looking forward
to landscaping our property in
the spring."
Pat Neely enjoys cooking.
"it's a pleasure," she says.
"Years of cooking for a family
can be work, but now there's
]ust the two of us and it's fun.
My husband cooks, too, but I do
the baking.
"The kids are here ahnost
every weekend and we have a
houselhl. 1 enjoy serving their
favorite foods, and some of them
can be prepared ahead of time."
