Dorothy F. McCoy was born on February 27, 1956 in Yazoo City, Mississippi to the union of
Clarence and Willie Mae McCoy. Dorothy was the eldest of five children born to this union.
Dorothy’s father preceded her in death as well as her two sons, Leonard and Ronald McCoy and
her sister, Mary McCoy.

Dorothy received her education in the Chicago Public School system and earned her high school
diploma from Lucy Flowers High School. She accepted Christ in her life at an early age and she was
baptized at Rose Hill Baptist Church in Mississippi. Dorothy had a zeal for life and serving was her
passion.

In 1970, Dorothy met Leonard Morris and during their relationship four children were born, Nickie
Nicole McCoy, Ronald Eugene McCoy, Deborah Monique McCoy and Leonard Eugene McCoy. As
she continued her journey in life, Dorothy moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1987, where two
more children were born, Barbara McCoy and Larry D. Beck. This was the place she labeled home
and she lived there until her transition.
