Robert "Bob" Boyd McGall

Robert “Bob” Boyd McGall, 87, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 30, 2026, at the Elizabeth House in Flat Rock, surrounded by love.

Bob was born on August 29, 1938; in Caldwell, Ohio to the late Joseph and Clara Boyd McGall. He was preceded in death by his infant daughter, baby McGall; and his brother, Charles McGall.

Bob was a proud graduate of Tallmadge High School in Tallmadge, Ohio and later attended Kent State University. He honorably served his country in the Army National Guard for several years, a commitment he carried with quite pride.

On July 11, 1959, Bob married the love of his life, Lois Grace Woodman McGall. Together they shared 66 beautiful years of marriage, building a life rooted in devotion, family, and steadfast love. They would have celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary on July 11, 2026.

Bob found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He loved golfing, gardening, and took great pride in keeping his yard immaculate-a reflection of the care he put into everything he did. Above all, Bob cherished his family and the time spent with those he loved most.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Lois McGall; his daughters, Brenda Eversole (Randy) and Cheryl Jackson (Jim). Four grandchildren; Trenton Eversole, Matthew Eversole, Michelle Williams (Todd) and Jonathan Jackson. Three great-grandchildren; Easton, Emalynn, and Everett Williams. Bob’s legacy continues to live on through each of them.

Family and friends will gather for a time of visitation on Friday, February 6, 2026 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM at Groce Funeral Home at Lake Julian on Long Shoals Road in Arden.

In lieu of flowers, the family graciously asks that memorial donations be made to Trinity of Fairview Church; 646 Concord Road, Fletcher, NC 28732
