Marvin "Mac" Chandley Maguire

Marvin “Mac” Chandley Maguire, 92, lifelong resident of Indianapolis, passed away October 25, 2025. He was born October 26, 1932 to the late Graydon C. and Alene M. (Scudder) Maguire. Mac was a graduate of Shortridge High School. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Army during the Korean War where he received the Korean Service Ribbon, Bronze Service Star, United Nations Service Medal, National Defense Service Medal, the Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citation and the Commendation Ribbon/Medal. Mac married Annette Priester, and she preceded him in death March 1, 2004. He then married Linda Walker on March 19, 2005. Mac was employed with Speedway International Trucks/Navistar, was a co-owner of the John Deere Dealership in Shelbyville, Indiana and held multiple positions for the Scottish Rite. Mac became a member of Mystic Tie Lodge #398 F. & A.M. in 1955, and in 1965 he joined the Scottish Rite. He was crowned a 33rd Degree Mason in 1985, served as Worship Master in 1997, Administrative Assistant to the Executive Secretary of the Valley from 1994-1999, then the Scottish Rite Cathedral Foundation in 2000, Master of Mystic Lodge #398, President in 1991, then was Secretary/Treasurer of the Indianapolis 33rd Degree Association. He was also a member of the 32nd Degree Masonic Learning Center for Children Board of Governors, and a member of the Murat Shrine. Mac was a quiet and persistent man of boundless energy and great dedication. He was a great leader with calm determination. Mac was a man who possessed a very large and loving heart and was kind and giving. He would give you the shirt right off his back to anyone in need. Mac quietly helped so many in so many ways. Mac had a wicked sense of humor. Dry and often softly spoken, he would deliver the funniest sayings or responses and do it with that wonderful twinkle in his eye. One of the many characters we all loved so much was also how ornery he could be. You could always count on Mac to deliver a surprise and always make a gathering so much fun. He was a Brother, a Cherished Friend, a Great Mason, a Loving Father, and a Loving Grandfather. Mac has touched so many lives in so many beautiful ways. He was truly an angel of God. He will be missed! Visitation will be Monday, November 3, 2025 from 10:00 a.m. until the time of service at 11:00 a.m. at Shirley Brothers Washington Memorial Chapel, 9606 East Washington Street. Mac is survived by his loving wife, Linda Lee Maguire; Dawnalee McCarty (Leland), Angela Woody (Don), and Sandy Green (David); sister, Delores Von Burg; son-in-law, Todd Jarmeko; grandchildren, Tim (Denise) Ports, Josh (Alysa) Portz, Michael Van Arsdel, Katie Van Arsdel, Kelle (Brad) Repass, Caitlin (Ian) Cress, Matt Bryan, Noel Morical, Stephen Woody, Hannah Welch, Jered Woody, and Cassey (Alex) Torres; and great-grandchildren, Makayla, Madelyn and Jack Portz, Anthony and Alexander Van Arsdel, Felix Repass, Kameron Cress, and Isabella and Jackson Torres.
