Terrence P McNally

Terrence Phillip McNally, age 87, passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday, January 7, 2024.

Terrence was born on April 1, 1936, to Lloyd Everett McNally and Hallie Patterson McNally in Morrisville, Vermont. After he graduated from Cambridge High School in 1954 he immediately enlisted in the Air Force where he proudly served for almost 8 years. While serving in the Air Force, he married the love of his life, Naida Gillespie on January 7, 1961. He received an honorable discharge from the Air Force in 1962. In 1963 he enlisted in the U.S. Navy where he served for almost 20 years. He retired in 1982 as Chief Petty Officer. Terry moved his family to Pensacola, Florida where he worked in the aviation industry providing parts for a multitude of aircraft. In 1987, Terry and Naida took a leap of faith and formed Mac Enterprise of Pensacola, Inc. Terry used his knowledge of aircraft that he gained from the military to primarily buy and sell C130 aircraft parts. Terry developed many long-lasting relationships with various aviation companies that valued his honest and fair business ethic. He and Naida successfully ran Mac Enterprise together until Naida passed away in 2019. After losing his passion for the business, Terry closed the doors to Mac Enterprise in 2022 after proudly owning the business for over 30 years.

He loved watching NASCAR and football with his family on Sundays. He loved the holidays when his family all came around to spend time together laughing, loving, and enjoying the McNally traditional holiday meals. He unconditionally loved his family deeply leaving an amazing legacy for all to remember him.

He is survived by his 3 loving daughters; Teri Smith (Tim), Kimberly Showalter (Robert), and Tiffany Bearden and his 13 precious grandchildren; Chris McNally, Cory McNally, Brandon McNally, Brittany Barnhill (Matt), Amber Neff (Forrest), Bret Smith (Carrie), Christina Showalter, Jake Showalter, Nicole Bearden, Gavin McNally, Daphne Bearden, Alyssa Bearden along with 11 great grandchildren.
