Jennifer Lynn McCoy was born to Harry and Toni McCoy on May 22, 1986 in Galveston, Texas. She and her older brother, David, were raised in Texas City, Texas. She attended Our Lady of Fatima and Texas City ISD schools.
Jennifer excelled in academics and assumed leadership roles in her extracurricular activities. From a young age, she loved playing soccer, as well as watching high school and the University of Texas football games. Jennifer also loved dance, especially as a member of the Texas City High School Stingarette Drill Team.
She was an honor graduate of The University of Texas McCombs School of Business in Austin, Texas and earned her Certified Public Accountancy license upon graduation. While at UT, she was a member of the spirit group, Lonestars, where she met lifelong friends. Jennifer also studied abroad in Paris, France.
Jennifer spent her entire career with the public accounting firm of Ernst & Young. She worked out of the Houston office initially. Next, she was privileged to work abroad in London, England, where a two-year assignment turned into more than four years. Jennifer also proudly represented Ernst & Young on the United Nations' Resource Management Expert Group.
Jennifer met the great love of her life, James Golder, in the UK. After work took her back to Houston for a year, Jennifer decided to return to the UK to work permanently for Ernst & Young London. Jennifer was full of fun and adventure, traveling the world. British friends called her "the loud girl from Texas."
In February 2020, Jennifer was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was valiant in her determination to live. She spent countless hours reading the latest research in treatment options to discuss with her physicians and their colleagues. Jennifer passed away on Friday, October 21, 2022 at her home in Birmingham, UK.
