We regretfully announce the passing of Mary "Lynn" McHale on Thursday, April 15. Lynn was surrounded by her family and passed away peacefully.

Lynn is survived by her husband, Ray, son, Carson (Andrea), daughters, Amanda and Sydney (Chris) and grandchildren Nathan, Brody, Grace, Delaney, Oliver, Victoria, and Evelyn; along with all the friends we brought home over the years that considered her a second Mother.

Lynn met Ray as she was an Apartment Manager for his Apartment complex. Every month, Ray would pay his rent and ask Lynn on a date. After two years of asking, Lynn finally agreed to a date. Six short weeks later, they were married on July 20, 1976.  Every day, Ray & Lynn honored their wedding vows. Carson, Sydney & Amanda are all so grateful to them for being an example of how to love for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health.

A proud Air Force wife and active member of the Officer's Wives Club; an avid bowler and an "Instructor Level Shopper" at all of her husband's last four USAF military assignments, before beginning her second stint at Management of various retail stores, including a Luggage store, and a Video rental store, in her home state of Virginia, before she allowed her husband to uproot the family for their post-military "retirement" life to San Antonio in early 1992.  In 1993, she became an active member of the Alamo City Gator Club, the same year the group became the San Antonio affiliate of the University of Florida's Alumni Association - "GATOR NATION", of which both she and Ray became very active "Life Members."  She enjoyed shopping, collecting Christmas decorations, watching movies, and playing Air Force Rummy with her best friends.

Our family finds comfort in knowing that she is being welcomed in Heaven by her mother and father, Steve and June Sokol, her siblings, Beverly and Christopher, her sister-in-law, Donna, and her best friend of over 60 years, Linda Parino, Y'all Cuz Gregg Sutton, and many other loved and missed family members.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Lynn's name to The Wounded Warrior Project as this organization was important to her.
