C. Donald “Don” McCree passed away peacefully on Friday, November 6, 2026 at BrightView Senior Living in East Norriton, PA. He was 93 years old. Don was a resident of King of Prussia, PA and a member of Sacred Heart Church in Bridgeport, PA. Don had a long career as a professional engineer, working for Philadelphia Gear in King of Prussia and both CertainTeed and then Saint-Gobain in Malvern, PA.

Born in West Hartford, CT, to Charles A. and Edna (Gill) McCree, Don’s sister, Elaine McCree, predeceased him. Don was also the much beloved husband of Mary F. (Oates) McCree, who passed away in 2018.

Don loved baseball and was a lifelong Phillies fan. He thoroughly enjoyed golfing and fishing. He looked forward every year to his fishing trip with his friends, his son, and his brother-in-law in Canada at “Bob’s Lake.” Don also made wine and he and his wife, Mary, would host wine tasting parties at their home.

Don had quite the movie collection as well. He enjoyed showing movies at home and at the Upper Merion Senior Center, sharing his love of films with others.

Don was a hard worker, a devoted family man, and always a gentleman. He also loved a Chik-fil-a spicy chicken sandwich and he enjoyed a good martini with two olives.

Don is survived by his loving family including his son, Brian D. McCree; his daughter, Teresa M. Williams (Darren J. Henney); seven grandchildren: Sean (Joselyn), Dylan and Luke Williams and Julia, Jocelyn, Matthew and Spencer McCree; as well as extended family and friends.
