Donna M. McCall

She graduated from Butler High School in June 1942. During her lifetime, Donna worked at Miller’s Shoes, the Bantam Car Co. and was the office manager at Cunningham, McCall and Shanor Plumbing and Heating.

Her greatest job, however, was raising her four daughters: Kay Lane (Robert) of Brighton, Mich., Pamela Vacheenas (James) of Fallston, Md., Rebecca Hornung (William) of Hollidaysburg and Marsha Dippold (Albert) of Ridgway. Donna also had eight grandchildren: Robert, Eric, Amber, Rayce, Taylor, Briana, Albert and Allison; and 12 great-grandchildren. Also surviving are her brother, James Yarger; and her sister, Joanne Winters.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 74 years, Kenneth McCall, whom she married on Jan. 5, 1945. He passed away on Nov. 28, 2018. She was also preceded by her brother, Clarence “Bud” Hockenberry; and her sister, Jane Geibel.

Donna had been a lifelong member of First United Methodist Church in Butler. She volunteered for 25 years in the church nursery.

She also served as a Girl Scout leader, home room mother and church greeter. Donna was a great seamstress, crocheted and loved poetry and playing cards.

In June 2013, she and Kenneth moved to the Presbyterian Retirement Village in Hollidaysburg. Donna loved her neighbors, her friends, her church and her family.
