She was raised by a loving stepmother, Alice Moss Coggin. She was preceded in death by her husband, Ira (Jip) B.

She loved the outdoors and her flower gardens in her yard. She also enjoyed many crafts including basket weaving and crocheting. In later years, she spent a lot of time at the Nash County Senior Center and playing cards with her friends. Her greatest love was her family and the many reunions that they had.

Her grandchildren are Angela Cohoon Stokes and husband Robbie, and Jessica Cohoon Daughtridge; great-granddaughter, Olivia Rose Daughtridge; step great-grandchildren, Mary Kathryne Stokes Baker and husband Michael and Noah Stokes and wife Rebecca.
