Greta was a very compassionate, giving person. She was very supportive of my Grief Coaching business, Abiding Grace LLC. We would talk periodically. She will be missed but always in my heart!

Nothing compares to a grandmother’s love. I’m beyond blessed to have spent so many precious moments with you. There was a fully arched rainbow painted across the sky yesterday and it’s like you were telling me you made to Heaven 😇🪽🫶🏾

In 2014 my father moved to North Carolina. He was living in Matthews, NC. By 2016 he had become very ill. He was staying in a nursing home there. I was preparing to have knee surgery. So I couldn’t make the drive from Davidson, NC. LaGretta drove me there in her car. This was right after she had been in a terrible car accident. You could tell she was nervous but she didn’t want to disappoint me. That was one of the last times I saw my father alive. He died a few days after that day. I will never forget LaGretta’s act of love towards me. I will always love her for it. She meant much, much, more to me than just a church member. She was my very dear friend. I’m going to really miss you LaGretta!🥲

I will miss my friend LaGretta. A true soldier for the Lord. Not one time did we talk by phone and not speak of the goodness of God. I will miss those phone calls. I will always remember in our closing conversations she would say don't say goodbye. So I would say I am hanging up she would laugh and say I am hanging up too., we got to have coffee.

Interview with LaGretta Neal, where she discusses her family life and her lifelong connections to Davidson. Born and raised in the town, specifically in “Brady’s Alley,” she mentions being the daughter of Annie Mildred Lowery and attending Ada Jenkins Elementary School from kindergarten to the 8th grade. Similarly to most of her contemporaries, Lagretta Neal attended Torrence-Lytle High School from the 9th to 12th grades. She talks about her experiences growing up in a big family of 8 siblings, and mentions James Raeford as her uncle. Moreover, Neal shares snippets about her mother, who worked as a chef for a fraternity in Davidson College. After marrying and moving to Charlotte, she graduated from Johnson C. Smith University, and mentions how her granddaughter also graduated from that university. Lastly, she mentions the names of Kaneisha Gaston and Brenda Tapia, two notable Black women of Davidson, and the connections she had with them.
