John Paul McNally passed away on Thursday, January 23, 2014, at Slidell 
Memorial Hospital, of congestive heart failure. 
He was 83.

Born August 24, 1930 in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, he had lived in Slidell, 
Louisiana since 1981. 
He served in the US Army in the early 1950s at Walter Reed Medical Center in 
Washington, DC. A graduate of Penn State University, he worked as a technical 
writer for the US Cotton Council; Beaunit Fibers; Hercules, Inc.; and Martin 
Marietta. 
John had a lifelong passion for music and sang throughout his life. He 
performed with the Jubilairs group on the Ted Mack amateur hour in New York; 
with opera choruses in Memphis, TN, and Washington, DC; and with barbershop 
choruses in Alexandria, VA and Slidell. 
A generous and 
compassionate man, he was a longtime volunteer at Northshore and Ochsner 
Hospitals, earning the Volunteer of the Year award in 2007. 
John was an active 
member of St. Margaret Mary Church, serving as an usher for many years.

John is survived by his wife of 52 years, E. Joan McNally; three children, 
Louise of Barcelona, Spain, David, of Charlotte, VT, and Mark, of Arlington, 
VA; four grandchildren; and a sister, Alice Conahan, of Conyngham, PA.

The family had a Catholic mass said in his name on Sunday, January 26. A family 
memorial service will be held at a later date.
