Dolly Neely was born in
Clarion, Pennsylvania. She spent approximately four years
living on the Potomac River in Alexandria, Virginia, while
attending classes and hanging out at the National Press Club
(her mother works for the World Bank) where, along the way,
she met former Presidents Gerald Ford and Bill Clinton, as
well as President George W. Bush. Her overseas journeys have
taken her to Germany, England, Uruguay and Argentina.
Neely currently lives at Lake Latonka located in Mercer,
Pennsylvania. She is a shepherdess to approximately 40 sheep
on her 90-acre farm, having taken over after her
grandfather's death in November 2003. Along with taking care
of her sheep, she likes to spend her time snow and water
skiing, mountain biking, gardening, rifle hunting, trapping
for muskrats and beavers and reading the magazine National
Rifleman. She is a member of the NRA, loves romance music
from the 40s and 50s and says "Seven-Year Itch" is
her favorite movie.
Neely is extremely proud that she is true close friends with
her mom and both her grandparents and describes herself as
smart, worldly, self confident, bossy and sensitive. Neely
says that Jesus Christ is her ultimate hero because he is
the savior for all. While she would give up her sheep for
six months in order to get a $1 million, she wouldn't do
anything that would jeopardize her spot in heaven. She
believes that she will bring her communication, creativity
and practical skills to SURVIVOR: VANUATU and says her
motivation for being on the show is to meet new people and
experience new things. She says that she could be the Sole
Survivor because she has lots of determination and resolve.
