Jene` McCall

Jene’ McCall was born on May 5, 1986, and departed this life on November 7, 2026. Though her time with us was far too short, the love she shared, the strength she demonstrated, and the beautiful spirit she carried will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Jene’ possessed a personality that was just as beautiful as her heart. Her kindness, generosity, wonderful sense of humor, and infectious smile had a way of brightening the lives of those around her. She had a warmth about her that made people feel welcomed and loved. Whether through a shared laugh, a thoughtful gesture, or simply the joy of being in her presence, Jene’ had a special way of making ordinary moments memorable. Her beautiful spirit was a gift to those who knew her, and it is that spirit, along with the love she gave so freely, that will be missed most.

To know Jene’ was to know love. Her heart and undeniably beautiful spirit were among the most special things about her. She had a way of making an impression on those around her, leaving behind memories and connections that will not easily be forgotten.

Jene’ was no stranger to adversity. In 2024, she faced a formidable battle with Triple Negative Breast Cancer, enduring the physical challenges, treatments, and uncertainty that came with her diagnosis. Yet, through it all, she demonstrated a strength and determination that were nothing short of remarkable. She completed radiation treatment in 2025, reaching a milestone that so many hope and pray for. Ringing the bell was more than a celebration of completing treatment; it was a testament to her perseverance, courage, and strength throughout an incredibly difficult chapter of her life.

Jene’ also experienced a beautiful transformation in her faith. She became a member of North Syracuse Christian Church, where she attended regularly and made the decision to publicly profess her faith through baptism. It was a moment she was tremendously excited about and proud of. Her decision to give her life to Jesus Christ reflected a growing relationship with God that she genuinely embraced and enjoyed sharing.

She would often share hymns she had been singing, describing how they reminded her of her grandmother singing those very same songs around her as a little girl. Those moments represented more than music. They were reminders of family, childhood memories, faith, and the love that continues to connect generations. It was beautiful to witness her faith come full circle.

One of the most meaningful relationships in Jene’s life was the bond she shared with her older sister, Jeanine. Their relationship was a beautiful example of the love and devotion between two sisters. Jene’ looked to Jeanine as her rock, her protector, her supporter, and her biggest cheerleader. Their connection ran deep, built on unconditional love, trust, and an unwavering commitment to one another.

Jene’ leaves behind a loving family who will forever cherish her memory, including her uncle, Andrew McCall; her sister, Jeanine McCall; her twin brother, Jonte McCall; her niece and nephew, Debria and Javone Dawkins; and her cousins, LaKeesha Flemming, Cameron Pope-Everson, and Greg Bullock, along with extended relatives and friends whose lives she touched. 

She was preceded in death by her beloved mother, Karen McCall; her grandmother, Josephine McCall; and her grandfather, Andrew McCall.

Though hearts are heavy with her passing, comfort can be found in knowing that Jene’ experienced love, discovered and embraced her faith, faced tremendous adversity with courage, and left an impression that will endure long after her earthly journey has ended.

Her life reminds us that the measure of a person is not simply in the number of years they live, but in the love, they give, the lives they touch, and the memories they leave behind.

To know Jene’ was to know love. And that love will live on forever.
