Kathleen Belingheri Neat of Panaca, passed away into the arms of her loving Heavenly Father on Feb. 12. She was born Sep. 26, 1947 in Caliente. She grew up in Henderson where she graduated from Basic High School in 1965. After moving to Panaca later, she taught fourth and fifth grades at the Pioche Elementary School for 20 years.

She was a dedicated and well-respected teacher who was loved by her students. Her great patience and ability to love and accept all of her students created in each of them a belief they could learn and be successful.

She is survived by her four children Eric (Jen) Neat, Adam (Nicole) Neat, Matthew (Kish) Neat, Erin (Micah) Muldowney; brothers John and Joe Belingheri; her sister Kris Cara; along with 13 grandchildren.

Those that knew and loved this amazing woman will miss her dearly. She had the great capacity to love people without judgment. Her kindness and consideration was always for others and never self-directed, even during times she struggled with her own difficulties in life. Southern Nevada Mortuary in Caliente is handling arrangements.

Viewing was at 9:30 on Saturday, Feb. 21 at the LDS Chapel in Panaca. Funeral services followed at 11.
