Marie Mccoy

Marie McCoy, age 90, widow of Kenneth McCoy passed away on Friday, March 26, 2021. She was born on Cane Creek, Stanton, Kentucky to the late Coleman and Sallie Burus Morton. She was a life long member of the Cane Creek Union Church where she rarely missed a church service. Her tough spirit and slight stubborn streak were evidenced by her devotion to her family and her vigorous work ethic. She enjoyed gardening and passed that love on to her grandchildren. Many knew her as Mrs. McCoy from her time as an instructional aid in mathematics at Powell County Middle School. After her retirement, she remained mathematically minded by recounting to her grandchildren the number of turkeys, cows, or cars she could see from the front window of her Cane Creek home. In addition to her parents and her husband, she was also preceded in death by her son, James Lee McCoy, her grandson, Robert Shane McCoy and two brothers, Paul Morton and Phillip Morton.  Marie is survived by her son, Edward (Marsha) McCoy of Stanton; one daughter, Marilyn (Greg) Otis of Naples, FL; one brother, Arnold Morton of Clay City; one sister, Barbara (Tommy Joe) Frazier of Sarasota, FL; one sister in law Vina Morton of Clay City; seven grandchildren, Will (Lee) McCoy, Rebecca (Dave) Dotson, Patrick McCoy, Lesley Ann (Wayne) Vaughn, Brandon McCoy, Stephanie (Thaddeus) Otis and Laura (Brian) Foret along with eight great grandchildren, Haley Vaughn, Amber Dotson, Blakley Dotson, Kenna McCoy, Robert Cole McCoy, Lilly McCoy, Margaux Foret and Francis McCoy Foret.  Private funeral services officiated by Bro.
