Obituary of Theda Marie McCall

Theda Marie Owen McCall, 71, of Cashiers, went home to be with the Lord, Saturday April 3,2021. A native and a lifelong resident of Jackson County, she was the daughter of the late Andy and Christine Owen. 

Theda was blessed with a large, loving family. She attended Heady Mt. Baptist Church and loved worshipping with her church family.  Theda retired from Cashiers Plastics after 36 years. She enjoyed traveling, music and cooking, but what she truly loved was spending time with her friends and family.

Theda was kind and selfless, and she was always smiling. She never met a stranger.  Theda was vibrant, full of light, and enriched the lives of all who knew her. She will be dearly missed by her loved ones.
