James McNally Obituary
Jim proudly served in the Army, dedicating himself to the values of duty and service. He was a skilled machinist by trade. Jim was a long-time member of Hope Lutheran Church. Jim's passions included tending to his garden and his hummingbirds, whipping up culinary delights, and a good game of bowling. Jim also had a fondness for all things art, from wood carving, painting, and jewelry making, and he loved of a good joke.
Jim was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 58 years, Judy; his parents, George and Mary, brothers, George and Gary, and daughter-in-law, Star. He is survived by his daughters, Marilyn Hastie (Mark) and Mary Kay Magraw (Scott); son, Keith McNally; grandchildren, Chad, Michelle (Jake), Megan (Sam), Caitie (Jeff), and Janel (Kegun); and great-grandchildren, CJ, Jake, Ava, Tru, Theo, and MacKay and many family and friends.
Jim will be deeply missed by all who knew him, remembered for his warmth and commitment to his family, his service, and his community.
