My mother and Mrs. McCoy taught across the hall from each other at Stephen F Austin. For many years she was like an aunt to me. She would always quiz me on spelling words. I really enjoyed talking with her, because she treated kids as if they were adults. May she rest in peace, and may her family find comfort in this time.

Mrs. McCoy was my sophomore English teacher! She was a wonderful teacher! She also taught my daughter, Becky class of 88! We used to laugh because she would call Becky, Emily! We were just wondering about her last Sat! RIP dear Mrs. McCoy!:pray::skin-tone-2::heart:
