It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father Marshall Edwin McCall Sr., “Ed,” “Butch,” on Dec. 13, 2024, at the age of 90. He was surrounded by the love of his family in his final moments. His absence leaves a void in our hearts.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 67 years, Mary Ann McCall; his parents, Albert Lamar and Bess Witten Neel McCall; his brother Albert Lamar McCall Jr. and sister Elizabeth Ann Pyott.

Ed leaves behind his three children, Marshall Edwin Mc-Call Jr. “Eddie” (Mindy Mc-Call), Kim Staley (Don Staley) and Melissa Caston (David Caston); four grandchildren, Olivia Yurchak (Nick Yurchak), Tyler Staley, Zach Sucher (Montana Sucher) and Julia Reid (Austin Reid); four great-grandchildren, Juniper Sucher, Lorelai Sucher, Luke Yurchak, and Cooper Reid; nephew Brad Pyott and niece Katherine Pyott Rutherford; sister- in-law Linda Williams; niece Laura Brooks and great-niece Sophie Brooks.

Ed worked in banking for over 40 years and enjoyed spending his Saturday and Sunday on the golf course with family and close friends.

We invite all who knew Ed to join us in remembering and celebrating the life of a wonderful man on Saturday, Dec. 28, at 2 p.m. at Trinity United Methodist Church in Lexington.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Cancer Society of America, www.cancer.org.
