Obituary for Joycelyne D. McCoy - Allen
Joycelyne (Joy) Doreen McCoy-Allen was born on January 19, 1934 to Andrew Wayman Hackley and Rachel Christina Earll in Toronto, Canada. Her parents Andrew Wayman Hackley and Rachel Christina Earll and older sister Eleanor Katherine Wilson, preceded her in death. Joycelyne was the youngest of four children. She attended Central Technical High School in Toronto, Canada.
Joycelyne married Robert McCoy and moved from Toronto, Canada to Detroit Michigan in 1953 where she has remained for the last 60 years. Three children (Roberta, Ricky, and Rowland) were born to their union. In 1989, she married a second time to James Weaver Allen, Sr. and they were married until his passing on December 6, 1989.
Joycelyne worked at Sears for 27 years and volunteered wherever needed after her retirement. Joycelyne enjoyed collecting low calorie recipes, playing bingo, reading, planning social activities and trips for her and her friends. She was the Social Butterfly of Greenhouse Apartments.
