- James Cornelius “Neal” Newton, Jr., age 82, of Burgaw passed gently into the glory of our Lord and Savior’s care on Monday, December 16, 2019 at Lower Cape Fear Hospice and LifeCare Center.
He was born May 3, 1937 in Pender County, one of ten children born to James Cornelius Newton, Sr. and Katie Caison Newton. In addition to his parents Neal was preceded in death by his siblings, Mary Pridgen, Maggie Powers, Florence Johnson, Irene Normann, Sivey, Elbert Sr., Franklin, and John Ed Newton.
Neal is survived by his loving and devoted family: wife of 64 years, Sue Anders Newton; children, Becky Lane (Phil) of Burgaw, Gregg Newton (Drenda) of Southern Pines, and Kelly Powers (Eddie) of Monroe; grandchildren, Adam Lane, Joshua Lane (Brittany), Daniel Lane, Heather Kosem (Nico), Courtney Durham (Chandler), Micah Powers (Lyndsey), and Katie Deese (Anthony); great grandchildren, Naomi Kosem and Samuel Deese; sisters, Bettie Mae Rivenbark and Emily Kay Harris; many extended family and dear friends.
Neal was retired as a safety officer with the NCDOT. Following his career with NCDOT, Neal embarked on a second career which was for the love of people, working with Quinn-McGowen Funeral Home for 15 years. Being instrumental in the formation of Pender County Rescue Squad, Neal was a volunteer for 13 years. For many years, Neal served as Sunday school teacher, deacon and in many other capacities at Moores Creek Baptist Church.
Neal was a Godly, Christian man and a joy to know. He was known for his wisdom, generosity, love of laughter, and for his great devotion to his family. His departure from this earth leaves an empty place in our family circle and in our hearts.
The family will receive friends 6 to 8:00 p.m. Wednesday, December 18, 2019 at Quinn-McGowen Funeral Home in Burgaw.
