Sylvia Adell Coffey

Sylvia Adell Coffey, 84, of Amarillo died Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2003.

Services will be at 10 a.m. Monday in San Jacinto Baptist Church with 
Dr. Stan Coffey officiating. Burial will be at 3 p.m. Monday in 
Buffalo Cemetery in Sayre, Okla., by Schooler-Gordon Funeral 
Directors, 5400 S. Bell Ave.

Mrs. Coffey was born Jan. 8, 1919, in Kenific, Bryan County, Okla. 
She was the eighth of 12 children born to John Henry and Laura Maine 
Price. She married Claudie D. Coffey on Dec. 20, 1936, in Mayfield, 
Okla.

During the earlier years of their marriage, the Coffeys moved to 
California to find work. Mr. Coffey became a foreman of a large farm, 
raising vegetables for the War effort during World War II. With the 
end of World War II, the Coffeys returned to Oklahoma, where they 
farmed until Mr. Coffey's death in 1978.

Mrs. Coffey's earlier years were filled with the many duties of a 
farm wife and homemaker, and she even worked in the fields. After her 
two children were grown, she attended Tech School in Clinton, Okla., 
to become a physical therapist. She worked in the Sayre Hospital for 
many years, until her retirement in 1980.

Following her husband's death, Mrs. Coffey moved to Amarillo to be 
near her son, Dr. Stan Coffey and his wife Glenda when he became 
pastor for a second term at San Jacinto Baptist Church. She was 
active in the church for almost 20 years and was a member of the 
Esther Sunday school class and the pastor's class.

Survivors include a daughter, Dianne Henson and husband, Odos, of 
Stillwater, Okla.,; a son, Dr. Stan Coffey and wife, Glenda, of 
Amarillo; four grandchildren, Mrs. Kim Hall of Amarillo, Mark Henson 
of Tulsa, Okla., Scott Coffey of Amarillo, and Natalie Coffey Archer 
of Chapel Hill, N.C.; and nine great-grandchildren.
