Alice Theresa Mccoy

Alice Theresa McCoy, 81, of Lewisburg, died Wednesday, November 24, 2021 is now in the care of our loving Lord and Savior. There is no more pain and suffering. Despite life’s hardships, she always maintained a sense of humor, even in death. Many years ago, Alice shared that when she passed, she wanted her tombstone to read, “I told you I was sick,” and would laugh, knowing that others may find humor in this as well.

She was born January 6, 1940 in Braddock, the daughter of the late Stanley and Frances Veronica (Janoski) Stanczak.

Alice was a graduate of Clairton High School and a 1993 graduate of the Danville Area Practical Nursing Program. She worked for the former United Methodist Home, Lewisburg.

She was a member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Milton and recently attended Sacred Heart Church, Lewisburg. Alice enjoyed teaching Sunday school at church.

Alice loved collecting different recipes and was always trying to improve her “green thumb”.

Most importantly, she loved spending time with her grandchildren and spoiled them as much as possible.

Surviving are three children, Colleen Nevil and her husband, Trace, of Lewisburg, Robert McCoy and his wife, Rika, of Spring Creek and Diana Shirley and her significant other, James Eckroth, of Jasper, AL; six grandchildren, Seth Guyer and his wife, Lexus, Robert and Corry McCoy, Tyler and Kayla Nevil and Kristopher Eckroth and two great-granddaughters, Anna and Ava Guyer.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by a brother, Richard G. Stanczak.

Friends will be received from 11 a.m. to noon. Tuesday, November 30 at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 109 Broadway St., Milton, where a Mass of Christian Burial will be held at noon with the Rev. John Hoke, officiating.

Burial will follow in St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery, Milton.
