S. Courtney McCluney

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Courtney, our beloved sister and friend to all whose lives she touched, on September 5, 2023.
S. Courtney McCluney was born in Mecklenburg County, NC in 1965 and raised in Virginia Beach, VA. For the past several years she has called Memphis, TN her home. She loved fiercely, protected passionately, and had a wicked sense of humor. She often presented a tough exterior, but she was an extremely sentimental soul. She never met a stranger and never passed anyone without a smile or perhaps a detailed recap of a documentary she just watched. She was known for her unique sense of style and fashion from her high-end shoes to her extensive collection of sunglasses, watches, and snarky t-shirts. Courtney was a hard worker and from a very young age cared for people through her many years in the customer service industry. Her passions included cooking a good meal, enjoying fine libations, spending time with her fur babies, watching her favorite teams play football, writing songs, photography as well as being a lover of History.
Courtney was predeceased by her parents, Richard Clark McCluney, Jr. and Jean Foushee McCluney as well as sister-in-law, Virginia B. McCluney. She is survived by her siblings, Richard McCluney, III, Kelly Shaner (Larry) and Scott McCluney (Sue). "Aunt Coco" will be missed by her beloved nieces and nephews Andrew McCluney, Phillip and Allison Shaner, and Taylor and Connor McCluney. Her loss will also be deeply felt by her loving aunts, uncle and cousins.
Those who knew her will remember her for her legendary humor, love to share a good story and compassion for others. In celebration of her life, take time to raise a glass and share your favorite Courtney story with those you love.
If you would like to honor her memory, the family suggests memorial donations may be made to the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention, the SPCA, or the Trevor Project.
