Sis. Mildred Alice (Coomer) Richardson McGinnis, 82, of Campbellsville, KY entered into rest on Monday, May 13, 2019 at Taylor Regional Hospital after an extended illness. She was born in the Low Gap community of Adair County, KY on July 18, 1936 to the late James Gordon and Mattie Lee (Pierce) Coomer.
As a young lady, she met Cecil “Red” Richardson, and they united in marriage in 1953. They would remain a devoted couple until his death in 2003. She would later marry Chuck McGinnis, who survives.
Sis. McGinnis retired from the Fruit of the Loom plant in Campbellsville, having worked there over 30 years. Her life’s work, however, lay in trying to make heaven her home - and from that calling, she never wavered. She was passionate about her walk with God, and faithfully attended the Truth Tabernacle United Pentecostal Church. Her soft, gentle, and continual encouragement to others will be dearly missed.
She was also preceded in death by a daughter, Diana Cecile Allen, and a sister, Geraldine Coomer McGinnis.
