Terry Lee Macalady, 90, of Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, passed away peacefully on July 30, 2025. He was preceded in death by his loving wife and best friend of 58 years, Joy Marie Macalady.

Born on November 29 (or 30), 1934, to Frank and Louise (Terry) Macalady, Terry lived a life marked by love for his family, strong values, and appreciation for life's simple pleasures. He was preceded in death by his brothers Francis and Arthur Macalady.

Terry is survived by his children, Michael (Lori), Terry E. (Jenny), and Jennifer Macalady; grandchildren Donald (Nikki), Ryan, Briana, Harrison, Hunter (Erin), Jeffrey (Holly), and Hannah (Will); and great-grandson Riott.

Terry had many passions, including golf, fishing, boating, and trips to Navarre Beach. He especially cherished time with his family and cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals. His warm smile, easygoing nature, and steadfast love for those around him will be remembered by everyone who knew him.

A celebration of life will be held at Caruth Village Funeral Home in Hot Springs Village, AR, on Saturday, August 9th, at 2:00 PM.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Terry's memory to the Hot Springs Village Animal Shelter Welfare League, http://www.hsvawl.org.
