Neary participated in St. Teresa's Rosary Society, Girl Scouts, and much later became one of the directors of the United Forties Civic Association. She was the Vice President and Treasurer of Datamovers, Inc., an air mail expediting and messenger company started by her husband in 1954. She was continually active in her community and was passionate about the United Forties' efforts to maintain a high quality of life in the area of the number 40 streets in Woodside through some difficult times; she was also the United Forties newsletter editor for about fifteen years.
