Katheryn "Little Nanny" Fincher

     Katheryn "Little Nanny" Fincher, aged 84, passed away peacefully at her residence in Cusseta, Alabama, on February 18, 2025. Born in Eclectic, Alabama, on March 26, 1940, Katheryn embodied the spirit of southern warmth and charm throughout her fulfilling life.

     A testament to the bonds of family, Katheryn's legacy is carried forward by her loving children: Katie Coulter, John "Bug" Gray paired with his companion Carolyn Johnson, Linda Gray Harper, and Walter Gray with his wife Wendy. Her vitality and love live on in the joyous lives of her eleven grandchildren, twenty-four great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren. Katheryn also leaves behind her devoted brothers, Herchel Foster with his wife Doris, and Robert Foster alongside his wife Julie, as well as her sister, Virgie Mae Horn. Each of them cherishes the unique bond shared with their sister.

     She was preceded in death by her special friend, Claude Estes; husband, James Marion Fincher; parents, William Nolen Foster, Sr. and Pearlie Mae Robertson Foster.

     As the matriarch of her family, Katheryn held the esteemed position of a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She found pleasure and purpose in simple things, nurturing not just her family but also the world around her. An avid lover of the outdoors, she took great satisfaction in working in her yard, riding her lawnmower, and was a dedicated recycler who delighted in crushing cans.

     Fishing and quilting were among Katheryn's cherished hobbies, each activity reflecting her patience and care. Friends and family will remember her as the epitome of loving, kind, and friendly - attributes that made her a cherished member of her community.

     Katheryn "Little Nanny" Fincher lived a life full of giving, tenderness, and the comforts of home. Her memory will forever be kept alive in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her.
