Wayne Livingston Mccoy

McCOY, Wayne Livingston, age 83, of Oakwood, died Wednesday, December 21, 2011, at Hospice of Dayton. Born on September 5, 1928, in Fairpoint OH, Wayne received his B.A. from the University of Pittsburgh, his M.Div. from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and his Ph.D in Theology from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. He served as a Minister of the Presbyterian Church USA for 58 years, retiring from Fairmont Presbyterian in Kettering in 1996, after 18 years. During his ministry, he was an itinerant preacher for the Church of Scotland; held long pastorates at Catonsville Presbyterian in Baltimore MD and Christ Memorial in Royal Oak MI; and also served on the Board of Trustees of the Presbyterian Foundation and on the Vocation Agency Board. Wayne's great love of the Church and his extreme devotion to its people made him a consummate pastor, excellent preacher, wise leader, and loving friend. He was passionate in his love of family, steadfast in his care of the McCoy family farm in PA, joyful in song as a member of the Westminster Presbyterian Church Choir, and happiest with a book in his hand. Preceded in death by his parents, Daniel Crane and Bessie George Watt McCoy; first wife, Cassandra Troutman McCoy; and sister, Ruth Kloepfer. Wayne is survived by his loving wife, Susan; 6 children, Anne (John) Wright, Lynne (Scott) Steel, Wayne "Chip" (Susanne) McCoy, Jr., Rebecca (Thomas) Huber, Amanda (Andrew) Dorris and John Dickerson; 11 grandchildren, Sarah and Samuel Wright, Daniel, David, Michael and Thomas Steel, Benjamin and Katherine McCoy, Jacob and Cassandra Huber, and Colin Dorris; 3 brothers, James, Lowell and Pressley McCoy; and 3 sisters, Elverne Tipton, Besse Manney, and Mary Esther Barnes.
