Giffin McCarthy
1950-2021
McCarthy, Giffin Bowman Walter, age 70, of Conquerall Mills
passed away on January 20, 2021 surrounded by his family. Born on
December 4, 1950, he was the son of Lloyd and Jean (Llewellyn)
McCarthy. He is survived by the love of his life, his wife Wanda
(Wamboldt). (They were happily married 10 days short of 50 years.);
his son Derek, Crousetown; daughters Rhonda, Liverpool, and Ashley,
Conquerall Mills; grandchildren, Hayden, Reegan, Seth, Kyle, Savannah,
Allie, Leah, Jaxson, Janika and Rennick; brothers, Aubrey (Margaret),
John (Betty), Phillip (Christine), Byron (Emily), Earl (Debbie);
sister Annette (Jim) and many nieces and nephews; Mother-in-law Emily
Croft; sisters-in-law, Paulette and Joanne (Robert). Besides his
parents, Giffin was predeceased by his father-in-law Max Wamboldt Sr.;
step father-in-law Max Croft; brothers-in-law Max Wamboldt Jr. and
Vernon Crouse.
Giffin spent over 30 years with South Shore Ready Mix and
loved working with Kirk’s Christmas Trees during the winter.
He was a devoted fan of the Detroit Red Wings, Nascar driver Dale
Earnhardt, and George Jones who sang ” He Stopped Loving Her
Today”. We all know that song is no longer true because Giffin
will always love Wanda- it didn’t stop today.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the funeral service will be by
invitation only. Donations in Giffin’s memory may be made to
Emmanuel Pentecostal Cemetery Fund, Middlewood, or a charity of your
choice.
The family would like to thank Pastor Brian Nelmes, Dr.
Michelle Barrington, Kim Carlow-Berkley (Palliative Care), the VON,
and EHS who helped keep Giffin comfortable. Thanks to the many friends
and family that reached out and kept him company during his last
days.
