Austin Neal “Pat” McNally
June 28, 1927 – June 18, 2020
For ninety-three years his engaging smile welcomed everyone as a friend. Pat was born in Omaha Nebraska and spent his adolescence in Council Bluffs Iowa. After marriage to Jacqueline Claire Kenney, they raised their family in Omaha Nebraska and spent their final years in Bellevue Nebraska. Pat served in the Army, assisted at the family’s Bireley’s Soda Bottling business, and worked at Mutual of Omaha for over thirty years. He was a devout Catholic and a senior member of The Knights of Columbus. Friends and family respected Pat as a kind gentleman, consistently humble and supportive. He is remembered by his children for the security and stability he provided; they learned to be accountable by his example and his insistence. Pat’s parents were Henry “Harry” Thomas McNally and Winifred Sullivan. He loved to party with his siblings and their spouses: Mary (Harry), JoAnne (Don), Margie (Frank), Dick (Bonnie), Sharon (Mel), and Nancy (Don). Pat felt that his family was his greatest blessing, often bragging about his fourteen grandchildren and eighteen great-grandchildren. He believed that his children were his principal accomplishment: Maureen (Steve), Kitty (Larry), Colleen (Dan), Mike (Mary Ann), Ann Marie (Mike), and Rich. Pat’s greatest joys were dancing with his wife Claire, family gatherings, and golf. He loved to initiate spirited family discussions; and some of his best times were spent on the golf course with friends (two holes in one). Pat enjoyed life, accomplished all that he aspired, and left this world confident and with dignity.

ENJOYED WORKING WITH PAT AT MUTUAL BUT MORE SO GOLFING in THE MUTUAL LEAGUE. AS PAT SAID EVERY SHOT YOU HIT SOME ONE “LIKES”. STEVE BOLTON
On behalf of the Bertagni Children -(Sue, Monsignor Ted, Nancy, Steve, Tina & Jody), we send our deepest condolences to the McNally family. While growing up across the street from you, Pat always seemed like such a “laid back”, truly nice man. None of us will ever forget the big old time car he had with the fins on the back-we even had a song about it and referred to it as the “McNally Mobile.” You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.
So sorry for the loss of Pat. He’s being remembered as a nice man and good neighbor in the Thomas Moore neighborhood. We know they all had a great time together. He will be missed. The Erickson family
Rich: Such a loss, and so close to Father’s Day. My thoughts are with you. (Roger Brandt)
From your distant cousins in E. Iowa our hear felt sympathies and condolences on Pat’s passing
