BURGAW — Delores McKoy Brown, 82, passed peacefully into Glory on Tuesday, June 17, 2025 at home surrounded with love by her loving family.
She was born November 8, 1942 in Pender County, one of eleven children born to Henry Burton Ramsey and Henrietta Murray Ramsey. She was preceded in death by her husband, the love of her life, Tim Jefferson McKoy and nine siblings.
Delores is survived by her daughters, Cherryl M. Hansen (Darrin), Donna M. Murphrey (Bob), and Kimberly M. Caison (Jeff); son, David J. McKoy; grandchildren, Ben Murphrey (Brooks), Brianna Ward (Jonathan), Connor Hansen, Stephanie Burns (Chris), Samantha Caison (Austin), Lauren McKoy, Blake McKoy, and Braxton McKoy; great grandchildren, Liza Gray, Rookie, Wrenn, Luke, Eddie, and Maverick; sister, Carolyn Batts (Ronald); special friend, Dawn Austin; numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family members, and friends – all who dearly loved Delores.
Delores was a lady of many talents as she could and did fix anything from knocking down walls/putting them back up to plumbing, painting and you name it Delores could do it. Delores also was a gifted seamstress, flower gardener, and fabulous cook. No one ever left her home without being fed. A strong Christian faith defined Delores and her faith never wavered. Without a doubt Delores was a wonderful homemaker, who treasured her family above all else. Her presence in our lives will truly be missed.
