Steven “Randy” Neely, 69, of Ringgold, Georgia, passed away on Tuesday, September 30, 2025. He was born to the late Homer and Shirley Neely in Hamilton County, Tennessee. Randy was a lifelong resident of the Chattanooga–Northwest Georgia area, where he worked for McKee Baking in Collegedale, Tennessee, for over 47 years.
