She leaves behind a legacy cherished by her four children: Diane Sanders, Robert Sanders, Jr., Greg Sanders (and wife Young), Karen Gladstone (and husband Barry); five grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.

Neeta dedicated many years of her life to Trinity Presbyterian Church in Meridian, where her spiritual journey flourished.
