Mary Ann Cordell Key

Mary Ann Cordell Key November 10, 1940 – July 20, 2026 Mary Ann Cordell Key, 85, of Rossville, Georgia, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a lifetime of cherished memories and a family who loved her dearly. She was born on November 10, 1940, in Rising Fawn, Georgia, to the late Charles William and Ruth Walen Cordell, both of Rising Fawn, Georgia. Mary Ann retired from Shaw Industries after twenty-five years of dedicated service. She was a hardworking woman whose greatest joy in life was spending time with her family. She loved gathering with those she loved, searching for hidden treasures at yard sales and thrift stores, and never passed up the opportunity to find a good bargain. Mary Ann was a faithful member of Heritage Pointe Baptist Church in Ringgold, Georgia, where she found strength in her faith and enjoyed the fellowship of her church family. Mary Ann is preceded in death by parents, Charles and Ruth Cordell; her first husband of twenty-six years, James Mincey of Ringgold, Georgia; her brothers, Charles Cordell of Haines City, Florida, Dennis Cordell of Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, and Kenneth Cordell of Geneva, Alabama; her sisters, Marie Cordell of Rising Fawn, Georgia, and Marlene Cordell Miles of Ringgold, Georgia; and her children, Larry Mincey of Rossville, Georgia, Alvin Key of Florida, and Martha Mincey Key of Rossville, Georgia. Those left to cherish her memory include her devoted husband of thirty-seven years, Larry Key of Rossville, Georgia; her brother, Doug Cordell of Santa Rosa, Florida; her sister, Brenda Hunt of Ponce de Leon, Florida, her son, Billy Mincey of Crossville, Tennessee; her daughters, Jennifer (Eddie) Mincey Criss of Pennsylvania and Connie (Pete) Mincey Black of Rossville, Georgia; several beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and to many nieces and nephews to mention, all of whom held a special place in her heart. Mary Ann will be remembered for her warm heart, her unwavering love for her family, her strong work ethic, and the simple joys she found in everyday life. Her kindness, laughter, and caring spirit touches the lives of many, and her legacy of love and faith will continue to live on through all who knew her. Though she will be deeply missed, her family finds comfort in knowing that she has been reunited with those who went before her. Her memory will be forever cherished, and the love she shared will remain in the hearts of her family and friends for generations to come.
