Liberty "Libby" Mckay
Liberty “Libby” McKay (56) of Hohenwald passed away January 9th 2020
Libby was considered a homemaker, but spent all her time being a community activist. Her mother said that this passion for helping others started at a very young age. Mrs. McKay could be ill, but would still pull herself out of bed and hand out food and commodities to the communities in need. She had the biggest heart and would often take in lost boys and girls and help them get on their feet. They were very much a part of her family. Libby was the glue that held the family together. She loved her family more than anything and will be missed by so many. She would often help with fundraisers for the JR. Pro teams and was even a softball coach and Girl Scout leader at one point. She enjoyed life to the fullest.
As an integral part of our program, pouring her heart into fundraising, we established the "Libby McKay Spirit Award" in her honor for our cheer program
Each year 1 child from each age division is selected to win this award in honor of Ms McKay. Coaching staff watches each cheerleader throughout the season and gives the board recommendations on who they feel has earned this award. It is presented to the child who earned it at the end-of-year banquet.
