Obituary for JEAN GLORIA MACKALL
Jean Gloria Mackall, 80, of Lusby, MD passed away on March 3, 2013 at Calvert Memorial Hospital, Prince Frederick, MD. Jean was born July 20, 1932 to Johnson Gross and Marion Smith Gross who preceded her in death. Also preceding her in death was one sister, Marion Naomi Smith Jones of Prince Frederick, MD. Jean loved everyone and never complained about a thing. She was educated in Calvert County Public Schools. She graduated from William Sampson Brooks High School in 1949. On September 18, 1953, she married Mr. Hilton Penroe Mackall of Huntingtown, MD, who preceded her in death in 1978. Of that union, they had one child, Marion Olivia Mackall. The family lived in Queens, New York for many years. Jean and Marion returned home in 1978. In New York, Jean worked for years as a sale supervisor for AT&T. She transferred to the Washington D.C. office in 1978. Jean retired from AT&T after many years of faithful service. In 1978, Jean started studying with Jehovah's witnesses. This was familiar to her because her father (who was one of Jehovah's Witnesses) talked to her about the truth. In 1980, she dedicated her life to Jehovah and was baptized. She is survived by her daughter, Marion Gross, three grandsons, Clayton Gantt Jr., Solomon Thornton, and Hilton Mackall, and one granddaughter Loveta Robinson Gantt, two great grandchildren, Jaylen Maurice Brown Gantt, and Amelia Robinson, two uncles Napoleon Gross, Irving Gross and two aunts Daisy Gross and Florence Gross, eight sisters-in-law, Dorothy Wheatley, Minnie Stepney, Shirley Harris, Mattie Mackall, Viola Mackall, Alice Mackall, Juanita Mackall, Tammy Mackall and seven brothers-in-law, Floyd Jones, Charles, Kenneth, Wilson, Odell, Fredrick and Sherman Mackall, many loving nieces, nephews, cousins and friends will miss her dearly.
