ATHENS - Terry David McAnally, 73, died Oct. 25, 2020 at his home in Athens. He was born on June 28, 1947, to Claud and Billie (Winslett) McAnally in Pecos.
He was preceded in death by his parents; daughters Teresa McAnally and Angel Pierce and sister Toby Ward.
He married Vivian (Vicky) McAnally on Mar. 28, 2009, in Las Vegas. They ended up getting married in a "Elvis Chapel" by mistake.
He was a very hardworking man. He was in the oil field industry for 57 years. He traveled the world and met many people. He was very intelligent and was a problem solver for many oil companies. He was always a helping hand to anyone who needed him. He would call and see about his family and friends on a regular basis. He had a wonderful personality, always making people laugh, he loved to see people smile. He was a remarkable man with integrity. He had an impact on so many lives, not just in the oil field, but people all over the world. He loved his family, even those of not his own blood. He was a dad, even when he didn't have to be. He was our friend, our rock, our go to person on every need. He was husband, dad, brother, teacher, advisor, uncle, and friend. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. Something that Vicky will always remember and smile about is that he went and voted, before the Lord called him home.
He was a member of the Church of God Church of Athens.
