She leaves behind a legacy of virtue and nobility. Her cup was always running over with a grateful attitude for her blessings, even in adversity. Her constant companions were kind words to others accompanied by a smile. She will be greatly missed and always remembered. The Family thanks all of the “angels” who brightened her life with Tender Loving Care at Huntington Health and Rehabilitation Center for the past few years of her life. We appreciate and thank two special angels, her nephew, Carl “Scottie” Coffman and his “Little Darling” who faithfully visited her for the past few years and brought her so much cheer, chips and chocolate. Visitation will be held from 10am to 12pm on Saturday, October 16, 2010 at Henson Mortuary and. Funeral service immediately following. Burial will follow in Ridgelawn Memorial Park, Huntington.
