Glendell "Mack" Marker
Mack (Glendell McCullough) Marker, formerly of the Fayette County, PA area, passed away peacefully in his sleep while surrounded by loved ones on August 15, 2017 in York, SC after a full life of nearly 101 years.
He was the 1st born of Martha (Kunkle) and Jesse Marker in 1916 in Farmington, PA and became the oldest of 14 children.

After graduating from Ohioplye High School at the age of 16 and the top of his class, Mack served during WWII in the United States Army and then worked as a surveyor for the Army Corps of Engineers until he retired. He enjoyed making music-especially with his family, and played many instruments. He loved to travel and did so often- even residing in many different states.
He enjoyed life and approached each day as a new adventure. His vivid memories of his long and interesting life were inspiring to all who were lucky enough to hear them.
He will be greatly missed.
