Ardmore, OK — Services for Mary Kathryn McCoy will be Friday, March

of Ardmore with the Rev. Tim Lehman and the Rev. Dan Patman officiating. Interment
will be at the New Electra Cemetery on Saturday, March 7, 2009 at 11:30 a.m.
following a viewing one hour prior at Aulds Funeral Home in Electra, TX.
Mary Kathryn McCoy, 86, of Ardmore, OK passed away Thursday, Feb. 26, 2009
on her birthday. She was born on the Bickley Lease near Electra, TX on Feb.
26, 1923 to the late Mr. Ira Kidwell and Mrs. Margaret Litton (Bostick) Kidwell.
She was raised on the Bickley
and Marriott leases in Electra. After high school graduation, she married
Dwain Connell McCoy on Feb. 20, 1941. They began their marriage in Electra,
TX where Dwain worked for Shell Oil Company. In 1952 they were transferred
to Gainesville, TX. They resided in Hollywood, KS from 1954-1959, Glendive,
MT from 1959-1965, Bartlesville, OK from 1965-1971 and Ardmore, OK from 1971-1999.
Kathryn left Ardmore after Dwain’s death and moved back to Electra,
TX for three years. She returned to Ardmore in 2004 and remained until her
death.
Kathryn, known as “Kaky” to her family and “Grammy”
to her grandchildren was a godly woman and loved by all. She worked at the
Perkins Timberlake Department Store in Wichita Falls, TX during World War
II. After the safe return of her husband, they began their family. She was
a devoted wife and mother creating a secure and nurturing environment for
her children as they moved across the United States with Dwain’s career
with Shell Oil.
She was involved in many Bible studies and ministries at the First United
Methodist Church and was past treasurer and faithful member of the Cora Carlock
Sunday School Class. Many Sunday afternoons were spent in visiting the elderly
and the sick. Our dad often referred to them as her “sheep”. She
was a wonderful cook and great seamstress. She enjoyed crafts, music, painting,
gardening and spending time with her family. She had a very generous heart
and a love for animals. One of the highlights of her life was traveling to
Israel in the early 80s. She was forever changed by that experience. She will
be sorely missed but greatly celebrated as she is enjoying the presence of
our Heavenly Father. We look forward to that day when we see her again in
our eternal home.
She is survived by two daughters, Sheri Haynes and husband Marshall of Franklin,
TN and Mary Capps and husband Buddy of Ardmore; one son, Terry Dwain McCoy
and wife Marge of Cypress, TX; nine grandchildren, Jessica King, Erin Carroll,
Ryan Capps, Jason Fuss, Toni Corinescu, Joel Fuss, Julie Barnick, Jeanne Haynes
and Jodi Seyfried; and eight great-grandchildren, Jordan, Dylan, Jonas, Cade,
Ethan, Chantel, Abi and Jachob.
Kathryn was preceded in death by Dwain, her beloved husband of 54 years; her
parents; one brother, Billy Dan Kidwell; and one sister, Louis Kidwell Barrow.
Memorials may be made to the First United Methodist Church of Ardmore, 501
W. Main, Ardmore, OK 73401, designated for the Communion fund, Loaves and
Fishes, the Clothes Closet or to the Salvation Army of Ardmore, 1211 N. Washington,
