Anna Jean Hayes McKee went home to be with the Lord Tuesday, April 9, 2024, surrounded by family. Jean was a faithful member of First Baptist Church of Oneonta. She retired from the Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU) after many years of service. She loved to square dance and go out with her friends. She loved to travel, especially to the beach.

Hayes, her son Roy Hayes, and granddaughter Mandy Hayes; survived by her husband James Neal McKee; daughter-in-law Susan Hayes; son Greg Hayes; daughter Tori Farquhar Taner (Dave); step-daughters Nancy Wilson (Thurman) and BethAnn McKee; grandchildren Roy Hayes, Jr (Kristy), Jaime Thornburg (Taylor), Katherine McMillian (Michael), Erin Caudel (Todd), and Joshua Hayes (Lindsey); a host of great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, extended family, and friends.
