Cozy (Co) McArthur

Cozy (Co) McArthur a long time major part of the Women’s Western Golf Association, has passed away at age 106. Just 3 months shy of her 107th birthday.

McArthur started as the WWGA secretary as the organization started on it’s own in 1971, until at age 99 she decided it was time to turn over the reigns to the next in line.

She had been attending the annual WWGA meeting and Woman of Distinction ceremony until just 2 years ago.

McArthur had many talents. But her distinct penmanship had her keeping the scoreboard for years at WWGA championships.

But even past the age of 100, she made all the seating place-cards for those attending the WWGA annual meeting. McArthur loved golf and curling, and enjoyed baking cookies and other treats for WWGA board meetings.

She was a die-hard cubs fan for 100 years. Cozy will be missed by all her knew her. So the next time your driving through Northbrook the road Pfingston, was named after her family. A memorial service will be held at a later date, when it’s safer to do so.
