“We appreciate all the thoughts and prayers for Mom and our family during this difficult time. She was loved deeply by many, and we will miss her beyond belief. She was a wonderful daughter, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend with an unrivaled sense of humor that got us through so much. Mama we love you so much.
Further, it was her wish that we forego the funeral process; so, in keeping with her wishes, there are no plans for a memorial service.
We encourage anyone wanting to honor her life, please do so by making a contribution in her name to a charity of your choice .
Mom’s remains will be placed next to Daddy (Bill Cofield) as she wanted.”
