Her life as an Eastern Airline flight attendant supervisor was filled with exciting world travels but an unforgettable highlight was bringing armed servicemen home from Vietnam.

She found pleasure golfing, playing dominoes, baking and knitting for family and friends. As a volunteer at SRMC, she enjoyed sharing her baked goods for the annual bake sale. She was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Gallatin.

"Bud" Coley (Mary Lynn); sister, Betty Ruth Coley Neal (Tom); nieces and nephews, William H. "Chad" Coley (Liz), Kelly Coley, David Coley (Lisa), Karen Neal (John), Tracy Jones (Hugh), Lisa Ann Neal, Pam Chambers, Nancy "Sissy" Ferguson (Paul Glenn) and Steven "Bubba" Chambers.

My deepest sympathy to all the Family. Dora Ann, Scootie and I had so much fun at GHS, especially when we had a basketball game. There are many good memories that we all will cherish. May the Lord give all of you much courage and strength at this time. Love and Prayers. Ruth Wright
