McCoy; one brother, Harold (Merry) Grigsby of Kokomo, Ind.; and four children, Dennis (Robbin) McCoy of Jackson, Tenn., Rebecca (Richard) Wearmouth of Independence, Iowa, Everett (Rhonda) McCoy of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Esther (Brian) Henry of Daniels, W.Va. She was blessed with 11 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren, all surviving.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
June's memorial service will be held 10 a.m. Thursday, July 23, at River of Life, 3801 Blairs Ferry Rd. NE, Cedar Rapids.
In honor of her life and love for color, she would appreciate everyone wearing colors to celebrate her life. (June hated black!)
