Carl E. “Coxie” McCaughey 69, of Poteau, OK passed away Saturday, June 12, 2010 in Ft. Smith, AR. Coxie was preceded in death by his daughter, Tina Leietta Murray; mother, Oma Jundy; father, CarlWayne McCaughey; & sister, Shirley May Russell.
Carl was born in Payette, Idaho on October 17, 1940 where he lived until the age of two years. He then moved to Missouri and enjoyed his school days in Butler and made many friends over those years. He spoke of them often and never forgot; you lived in his heart always. Carl & Zerilda traveled to Boise, Idaho where they managed a mountain lodge for several months, then back to Branson and Stockton, Missouri where Carl worked in the rock quarries. They then moved back to Butler and worked at the quarry at LaCyne, KS. They moved to Gallup and Grants, N.M. in the late ‘70’s’ where Carl worked in the uranium mines. They moved to Trona, CA to work at the power plant. They moved back to Poteau in 1991. Carl was employed at AES until he retired in 2006.
Through two triple-bypass surgeries and a stroke he didn’t slow down too much. He was so energetic; he always had to be busy. Carl loved deer hunting and bass fishing and. in the later years, golf was his passion and he played every chance he got. He was happy and out-going and always loved a good joke and liked to play them on others, too.
Carl could find something good in every person he met and he always met them with a handshake and a smile which said, “Welcome to my world”. He will be deeply missed by his many friends and family members.
Services will be held 10 am, Friday, June 18 at Schowengerdt Funeral Chapel - Butler, MO. Interment will be in Virgil City Cemetery, Virgil City, MO
