The Bakersfield Californian 
Dorothy Jeanne Coffee
Services: Thurs., Feb. 17, 2 p.m.

A celebration of Dorothy Jeanne Coffee's life will be held at the Taft 
Westside Cemetery, at 2:00 p.m., on Thursday, February 17, 2005. Jean passed 
away February 12, 2005, in Bakersfield, California.

Jeanne was born July 26, 1919 in Burlingame, Iowa to Dorothy and Lynn King. 
She met Eddie Coffee on a blind date in Taft and they were married June 19, 
1937. She is preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Eddie Coffee, her 
son, Stan, her mother, Dorothy Randles, stepfather, Guy Randles all from Taft, 
and her father, Lynn King from Lakeside, Colorado.

Jeanne was an active member of the Taft Emblem Club and the Past Presidents 
Club. She was also a member of the Westside Oil Museum. She was usually in 
charge of the decorations due to her talent for art and home décor.

Being a politicians wife, she was a woman of strength in her own quiet way. 
She was a kind, sincere and a wise woman with great intellect; conversations 
with Jeanne were always very stimulating and entertaining. Jeanne was the core 
of information regarding history and geography. When she and Eddie traveled, 
she would research the places they were going, so she was able to make the 
trip extremely fascinating for all who went along. She took her children to 
almost every mission in California. She loved to play golf and socialize with 
her friends. Most of all, she had a great sense of humor with a quick and 
clever wit!

She is survived by her daughter, Dorean Hosking of Bakersfield; sister-in-law, 
Jane Kirkpatrick of Taft; her seven grandchildren and their spouses, Debbie 
and Leland Scott, Peggy Hosking, Kellie McDonald, David and Valerie Hosking, 
Jennie Clark, Christa Coffee, and Allen and Cressa Coffee, 17 great-
grandchildren, eight great-great-grandchildren and numerous nephews and nieces.

She will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her! A special thanks to 
all who assisted in caring for her at Mercy Hospital, Health-South, and 
Optimal Health, especially Peggy Browning, R.N.
