May 10, 1934 ~ October 25, 2020
Willie B. McCoy was born May 10, 1934, to Willis and Clemmie (Meadows) McCoy in Daingerfield, Texas. Willie went to Heaven on October 25, 2020.
Willie graduated from Daingerfield High School in 1952. He married Margie Briggs McCoy on August 9, 1958. He was a retired di-setter from Lone Star Steel and millwright from Morton Thiokol. He was a 60 plus year Master Mason and retired after 12 years as Constable for Morris County. He loved his family and "piddling outside", as he called it. Willie loved working with his hands, building, tinkering, and being an all around handyman and do it yourselfer.
Willie was preceded in death by his wife of 57 years; his parents; brothers and sisters. He leaves behind to cherish his memories: his children, Bill and wife, Kay, Belinda McCoy McLaughlin, Michael J. and wife, Amy, and Kerry B. McCoy and wife Kim. He is also survived by his grandchildren, David, Adam, Holly, Joseph, and Dakota; several great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Willie was a good man. Went to church with him for years. Kind, gentile and soft spoken. God gained another angel.
Sorry for y’all’s loss. Keeping all of you in our prayers.

We won’t come to the funeral because of the virus, but we always enjoyed seeing and visiting with Willie when we came to the nursery. We will fondly remember them both now. God bless you, Belinda.
I only have good memories of Uncle Beck! A couple of years ago, on my way out of town, I stopped by to see Uncle Beck. We had a nice visit. ??Diane
