Cecilia Hyatt McLeroy passed away peacefully on July 1, 2022 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. She was 76 years old. She was a caring mother, loving grandmother, and a friend to many.

She was born to the late James and Mary-Love Hyatt on December 18, 1945 in Canton, N.C. After graduating high school Cecilia moved to Atlanta and later to Fayetteville, GA.

When her children were young she was a “stay-at-home-mom” helping with Girl Scouts and at her daughters’ school and events. Cecilia worked in retail for both Rich’s and Macy’s. After retiring she moved to Huntsville, Alabama to be closer to her grandsons.

Cecilia had a spunky personality with a unique sense of humor. She always had a smile to share and would do anything for her family and friends. She enjoyed listening to music, a good laugh, and an ocean view.

She is survived by her daughters Maria McLeroy and Melanie M. Coakley (Chip), her grandsons Ben Coakley and Matthew Coakley.

A Celebration of Life will be held August 7, 2022 in Alabama. The family will also hold a Celebration of Life in Georgia at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association (alz.org), American Cancer Society as Cecilia was a breast cancer survivor (donate3.cancer.org), or the Greater Huntsville Humane Society (ghhs.org)

Valhalla Funeral Home, Huntsville, Ala.
