was part of the Normandy
Invasion. It was during
this time he was
promoted to staff
sergeant. When the war
ended, he and his men
were at the edge of
Berlin. The war ended in
May, but it was
September before he got
his orders to turn in
his equipment and pack
for the trip home. David
was discharged from the
service in 1945, at Camp
McCoy, Wisconsin.
In 1945, David met his
first wife, Donna Jeanne
Johnson on a trip to
Belmond to visit the
Waddington's. He helped
his aunt with the store
for awhile and then
decided to open his own
sandwich shop. It was
only open for about six
weeks when fire
destroyed it. In March
of 1946, he purchased a
local freight business.
He married Donna in July
of 1946, and they
operated a furniture
store which was
destroyed by the Belmond
Tornado. In 1968, he
purchased a small
decorator pillow factory
and moved it to Belmond.
In October of 1969 Donna
passed away. It was at
this time David took a
road sales job.
David was united in
marriage with Sharon
Williams in May of 1972.
She had five children
and David had five
children. The "Brady
Bunch" or "Eight is
Enough" didn't hold a
candle to their family.
In 1972, David joined
Kiefer Built Trailer
Company in Kanawha as an
Iowa sales
representative. In 1978
he became general sales
manager.
At the time of his
death, David was selling
and promoting his
current company. He had
a work ethic and an
entrepreneurial spirit
that lasted a life time.
David was a devoted
father and grandfather.
He was a member of the
United Methodist Church
in Belmond.
David is survived by
five children: Sandra
Licon and husband Ramon,
Linda Loux and husband
Lynn, David, James (Jim)
and wife Jane, April
Kemmer and husband
Randy, Terri Corsello

McCoy Memorial Fund.
Thoughts, condolences
and stories may be
e-mailed to the family
on the
www.fullertonfh.com

Oliver attended Grant
Elementary and Roosevelt
Junior High in Mason
City. While in his
teens, Oliver was unable
to attend formal high
school due to him
working to assist in
financially supporting
his family. Many years
later, he attained his
GED certificate, a major
accomplishment for him.
Oliver met the love of
his life and future
wife, Mildred Maxine
Christensen on March
11, 1942. The couple was
united in marriage in
Princeton, Mo., on
May 23, 1942, following
a whirlwind romance of
just a few months. They
became the proud parents
of six children.
Oliver was deeply
saddened when "Maxine"
died on June 8, 1989,
following 47 years
together.
Oliver was inducted into
the United States Army
on June 3, 1943, in Des
Moines and served his
country during World War
II, achieving the rank
of corporal. After
honorably and faithfully
serving his designated
time in the service,
Oliver was discharged
from his military duties
on Dec. 31, 1945, from
Jefferson Barracks, Mo.,
and rejoined his family.
Oliver took great pride
in providing for his
family. He was employed
as a maintenance laborer
for Northwestern States
Portland Cement Co. for
31 years, retiring in
1979.
Some of Oliver's
favorite interests and
leisure activities
throughout his life
included tinkering with
cars, playing board
games, visiting with
relatives and friends,
walking his dogs,
creating craft items and
taking family vacations.
Oliver is described as a
very patriotic man with
a playful sense of humor
who always extended an
open-door welcome into
his home.
He treasured going for
drives, especially for
ice cream, bowling on
leagues, eating brats
and sauerkraut and
raisin pie, watching
favorite television
programs and remaining
actively involved within
his church.
Oliver always maintained
that his family was his
highest priority.
However, he was also a
member of the Church of
Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints, a
former commander and
lifetime member of the
American Legion, a
volunteer driver for the
Department of Human
Services and a former
member of The Bishopric
at his church.
Oliver found great
satisfaction in
attending and
socializing at the
Salvation Army Adult Day
Care Center. In 1994,
Oliver was a recipient
of the Governor's
Volunteer Service Award
and the RSVP Volunteer
Service Award. He was
greatly anticipating a
special honor day for
the veterans at the V.A.
Hospital in Knoxville on
June 18.
Oliver will be sadly
missed by all who have
shared in his life.
He is survived by his
children, Judy McCoy of
Sandy, Utah; Jerree
(Kenneth) Whittle of
Lebanon, Mo.; Jim (Bev)
McCoy of Mason City;
Dixie "Jean" McCoy of
Mason City and Mary
"Chris" (Wayne) Ehrhardt
of Marshalltown; his
daughter-in-law, Gloria
McCoy, of Meriden; and
his sister, Bessie Munn,
of California. Oliver
will also be greatly
missed by his 22
grandchildren, numerous
great-grandchildren,
four
great-great-grandchildren
and many other relatives
and friends.
Preceding Oliver in
death were his wife,
Mildred "Maxine" McCoy;
his son, John McCoy, in
1988; his brother,
Calvin "Sonny" Davis;
his parents, James and
Hazel McCoy; and his
