Maria Lourdes McCoy

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Maria Lourdes McCoy. Maria was born on June 14, 1935, in the Azores, Portugal, to parents Francisco and Rosa Da Terra. She was the second of five children.

Maria loved animals and toward the end of her life you could often find her feeding strays and adopting them. Her love of animals led her to positions in multiple pet stores selling pet food. Her sock-it-to-me cakes were legendary and loved by all. She is admired for her spirited outlook and zest for life.

Maria is survived by her two children, Theresa and Michael; two grandchildren, Cody and Taylor Maxwell; and three great-grandchildren, Miller, Campbell, and Fletcher Maxwell. She is also survived by her brother-in-law, Eduardo Dutra; her two nieces, Michelle Duafala and Monique Pate, and their families; and her sister, Edwina.

She'll be greeted by her loving siblings Joe, Frank, and Fatima.

She will be missed by all, especially her fur baby, Diego.
