McNALLY, EDGAR
April 24th, 1930 – March 10th, 2020
It is with sadness we announce the passing of Ed McNally of Moose Jaw, SK on Tuesday, March 10th, 2020, a month short of his 90th birthday. Ed was raised in the Pasqua district and spent his working years in Moose Jaw, over 40 of those with John Deere. Throughout his lifetime he was active in his community, a member of St. Joseph’s Parish, a life member of the Knights of Columbus, a volunteer at the Sukanen Museum, active in the Square Dance community, and involved with numerous other volunteer groups. In retirement, he returned to curling in the winter and took up golf in the summer. This continued up to the very end, even with his oxygen tank. He was blessed with the gift of gab and enjoyed socializing with whoever was in the vicinity. He had an unending curiosity to learn something new and was constantly intrigued by his grandchildren’s endeavors. His journey in the medical field began with a diagnosis of cancer at the age of 17, forcing him to quit school and spend a year in recovery. Multiple medical challenges followed over the years but they never lessened his zest for life. He will be greeted in heaven by his parents, Cecilia and Allan McNally; all of his siblings: Rose, Jean, Ben and Raymond; son-in-law, Rob Exner; as well as Ann’s parents, Henry and Agnes Olson; and three of Ann’s siblings: Brian, Lynn and Ina Dell. Ed is survived by his wife of 55 years, Ann; daughters, Tracy Exner and Shari Huber (Warren), all from Regina, SK; son, Pat from Lake Louise, AB; and his grandchildren: Tegan (Justin), Tyson (Anna), Matthew (Chloe), Eden and Payton, who were his pride and joy. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, March 14th, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. in St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church, 1064 3rd Ave NW, Moose Jaw, SK. Deacon Lamont Dyck will officiate and interment will take place at Rosedale Cemetery. A Prayer Service will be held on Friday, March 13th, 2020 at 7:00 p.m. in Moose Jaw Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, donations in Ed’s name may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 1910 McIntyre St, Regina, SK S4P 2R3 or a charity of one’s choice. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. Gary McDowell, Funeral Director 306-693-4550 www.moosejawfuneralhome.com

Ann so sorry to hear about Ed. Our sympathies to you and your family.
Condolences to the family. I used to visit every year at Christmas time Hohoho!!! Santa remembers
Ann, Tracy, Shari and Pat. It seemed fitting to wait till St Pat’s Day to send this. Our sentiments go out to you and your families. The rest of us will miss him and his “rusty” laugh! He had a way about him that would put a smile on your face and always had a story to connect to it. In 45 years only seen him “lose it” twice and both times he had shown more restraint than anyone else would have.
I have a thousand of his stories rolling around in my mind . Ed we will all miss you.
Anne. So very sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. He was such a big part of our lives when we were young. All the fun we had at our house on 5th ave, the picnics at Buffalo Pound Lake, mom and dad’s New Years Eve parties. Although mom’s memory is not very good anymore, she recalled many of the good times while we went through her albums. Mom is still in her home in Sherwood Park, will be 91 in July. She asked me to pass on her condolences to you and your family.
