Marabel McKay

Marabel Jeanean “Jeannie” McKay age 76 of Kingston, TN, passed away on Sunday, September 8, 2024. Jeannie graduated Fort Hill High School in 1966 and attending Allegany Community College. She was a member of the Allegany County Western Dance Club. She was a member of Fairview Ave. Church and attended Cornerstone Baptist Church in Cumberland, MD and Salem Baptist Church in Ten Mile, TN.  

Jannie operated her children’s day care center for 40+ years with many “happy memories.” Jeannie loved to camp, travel, and spend winters at her second home in Inverness, Florida for the last 20 years. The real joy of her last five years was the time she spent with her grandchild and great grandchildren. Five years ago, Jeannie and Larry moved from Bowman’s Addition to Kingston, TN to spend more time with their family. Their next big move will be to heaven to spend eternity with our Savior.
