Billy McCathern, a devoted family man and accomplished dentist, departed this life on Friday, November 17, 2023. Born in Warrenton, Georgia, on July 30, 1935, to the late Willie Clayon and Ruby Pearl McCathern, his life was a rich with family, friends, church, dentistry, sports, and the great outdoors.
In a steadfast union lasting 70 years, Billy Mac and his beloved wife Leona Weston McCathern nurtured a family of four children: Avis Cunningham (Bobby), Ron McCathern, Julie Sizer (Danny), and Weston McCathern (Angie). Their love extended generously to eight grandchildren: Rob Cunningham (Erin), Todd Cunningham (Julia), Tyler McCathern, Chandler Sizer, Trey McCathern, Kent McCathern, Kade Sizer, and Chase Sizer. Also, seven great-grandchildren: Evie Cunningham, Beattie Cunningham, Carmella McCathern, Launi McCathern, Brady Cunningham, Sullivan Cunningham, and Kamryn Cunningham. Additionally, a brother, Jack N. McCathern (Joanne) and late sister-in-law Alice Weston Brown (Burnette) along with many nieces and nephews. Leaving a lasting legacy of love.
A proud graduate of Georgetown University School of Dentistry, Dr. McCathern dedicated his professional life to the art and science of dentistry. His commitment extended beyond his dental practice as he and Leona actively contributed to the spiritual mission of Union United Methodist Church for over 40 years, embodying unwavering faith.
As we bid farewell to Dr. Billy Mac McCathern, we remember a life marked by love, service, and the joy of shared moments. His impact reached far and wide, touching the lives of many in his community. He will be dearly missed and fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
