Jacqueline Rhea McLean, of Gallatin, Tennessee, passed away Sunday, April 16th, 2023, at the age of 85.

Jackie grew up in Gallatin, marrying her childhood neighbor “Mac” McLean, with whom she celebrated 60 years of loving marriage. She was the consummate homemaker as she raised her family who loved her quirky sense of humor, her country cooking, and her enjoyment of sports. Jackie especially loved the Christmas season, her Bible studies, and gathering her brood for family lunch on Sundays after church. She was always known for stepping out in style.

She is survived by her husband of 60 years, William H. McLean Jr., daughters Rhea McLean (Fred), Leigh Callen (George), and Chris Botkin (Tom), granddaughters Quinton Creasy (Kyle), Chloe Hopper (Jackson), Tessa Baur, and Jordan Rhoten (Jordan), grandson Christian Phelps, great-grandchildren Heidi Marie Rhoten and Nolen Rhoten, nieces Jackie DeVore (Steve) and Liz Dudley, and nephew Tom Tague.

Preceded by parents James Taylor Rhea and Louise Ralston Rhea, sister Jill Dudley, and nephew John Dudley.
