    William Donald McNally

    January 5, 1947 - May 14, 2022

    McNally, William D. "Bill", age 75 of Eden Prairie, died May 14, 2022 from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. A 1965 graduate of Chokio HS, Bill attended the College of St. Thomas and joined the Air Force after graduation. Bill married Connie Gleason in 1969, with whom he had three sons. He remained by Connie's side until her death in April 2001. Bill found a second love in life and married Morli Weldon in March 2002, with whom he shared 20 beautiful years. Bill lived a life of service to others: 26 years in the US Air Force and 133rd Airlift Wing of the MN Air Nat'l Guard, followed by work in disaster services and emergency response with American Red Cross, MN Homeland Security & Emergency Management, and FEMA, during which time he was deployed to numerous natural disaster sites. Following his retirement, Bill was active in church and volunteer activities. Bill was a dedicated card player and delighted in playing cards and cribbage with both the young (children and grandchildren) and the old (his weekly cribbage partner, with whom he had a running competition). He loved old-time radio shows, astronomy, history, pickleball, and the arts, with a particular love for outdoor performances (especially if he had room to dance). Above all, Bill was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather, brother, cousin, colleague and friend. His smile and bear hugs are legendary; his generosity of spirit unmatched. Bill's size 15 shoes left a big footprint, but it was Bill's huge heart that left the greatest mark on all. Preceded in death by parents Joseph "Bud" and Joan McNally and wife Connie McNally. Survived by loving wife Morli, sons Shaun (Brandy), Ryan (Sarah), and Liam (Devee) McNally; step-children Jess (Tammy) Berge, Kara (Rob) Tyler, and Jared (Heather) Berge; siblings Dan McNally and Kay (Chuck) Grossman; and many adoring grandchildren. Services will be held at Peace Lutheran Church, 8600 E. Bush Lake Rd, Bloomington MN 55438 on Wednesday, May 25th. Visitation 4:00 PM, Service 5:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, donations preferred to American Red Cross-Disaster Services or Creutzfeldt-Jakob Foundation. In memory of Bill, please consider donating blood through the American Red Cross or an organization of your choice.
