PAT NEEPER

On the morning of May 24, 2022, Pat Neeper remembers feeling irritated as she waited in line to show her driver’s license before being admitted to her great-grandson's kindergarten graduation. That irritation would soon turn to gratitude when she heard about the heartbreaking massacre at Robb Elementary School. She felt a strong sense of relief knowing that strict security measures were in place at her great grandson’s school That same day, Mrs Neeper, an artist and Lakeside resident, was inspired to create a painting in honor of the 19 students and 2 teachers who lost their lives in Uvalde.

Those 19 students included young artists, basketball players, and TikTok makers One boy brewed his grandparents a pot of hot coffee every morning One girl wanted to be a marine biologist when she grew up The two educators were celebrated veterans who together had taught four decades of local children

Mrs. Neeper’s painting, depicting 21 angels with brightly colored wings ascending to a blazing yellow heaven in the sky, is currently on display inside the Lake Worth Senior Center at 7005 Charbonneau Road
