Remembering Lee-Ann Pearson McKay

Lee-Ann Pearson McKay, age 76 of Pollock, Louisiana entered eternal rest on Saturday, December 27, 2025, at Legacy Nursing Home in Pollock, Louisiana. Lee-Ann is preceded in death by her parents, Luther and Nellie Pearson.

Those left to cherish her husband are her husband, who had been with her for 40 years, Marshal McKay; daughter, Jenifer Crooks (Richie); stepdaughter, Molly Ivy (Aaron); stepson, Waylon McKay (Samantha); grandchild, Ethan Crooks; three step grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

A memorial service honoring her life will be held at a later date.

Lee-Ann found peace in the outdoors and could often be found bird watching, carefully tending to feeders and delighting in every flutter and song that visited her yard. Her love for nature extended far beyond that-she enjoyed hunting, fishing, and spending time outside, where she felt most at home.

She also knew how to savor life’s pleasures. Few things made her happier than sitting down to a good crawfish boil, surrounded by laughter and conversation. When she wasn’t outdoors, she was rarely without a book in hand. An avid reader, she had a deep love for stories and knowledge, always eager to learn something new or escape into a well-loved novel.

She will be remembered for her independent spirit, her appreciation for the natural world, and her quiet wisdom. Her presence brought comfort and authenticity to those who knew her, and she leaves behind a legacy of love for the outdoors, learning, and living life fully. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.
