Mrs. Margaret Louise (Westfall) McCarthy, a beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, walked into the arms of Jesus on February 25, 2025, in Tornado, West Virginia. Born on November 6, 1955, in Richwood, West Virginia, she lived a life filled with love and devotion to her family and faith.
Louise was a dedicated and caring presence in the lives of those who knew her. She cherished her role as a wife of 52 years to Terry McCarthy and as a mother to Gregory McCarthy and Terra Whittington (husband Jimmy). Her love extended deeply to her grandchildren-Kali (Caleb), Haley (Dakota), Gracie (Jayson), Isaiah, Lakota, Emma, Nathan, Alaza, Lily, and Jocelyn-as well as her great-grandchildren-Avory, Keelan, Kennedy, Myles, Josiah, Luka, August, Kason, and Kolby. She dearly loved her brothers and sisters, Martha, Ronnie, Kenny, Ricky and Betty along with a host of nieces, nephews and friends.
Preceding her in death were her granddaughter Kelsi Bree Wilkinson, her parents Harry D. And Geneva Westfall, and her brother Kenneth Westfall. Though she is no longer physically present, her memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved her.
Louise’s unwavering faith was a cornerstone of her life. She loved Jesus wholeheartedly and carried that love into every aspect of her life. Her kindness and devotion left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her.
May her memory bring comfort to those who mourn her passing.
Funeral service will be 1:00pm, Friday, February 28, 2025, at Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church, Tornado with Pastor Craig Gillenwater officiating. Burial will follow at Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Tornado. Friends and family will gather one hour prior to the service at the church.
