Carole was born on June 19th, 1943 to Albert and Mary Coffman in Ponca City, Ok. She spent her early years on her grandparents farm in the Marland area and in Ponca City.She went to live in the Billings Fairchild Center in Billings, Oklahoma on April 29, 1966 when she was 22 years old.
Carole loved her visits with family. Her brother Jack came once a month to take her for a ride to the duck pond in Ponca City and then out to eat. Her sister Susie would take her to her home, feed her and take her shopping. Her sister bought her anything that caught her eye (snacks, gum, and anything she just had to have). She had a Yorkie that she named Billings Fairchild Center but that was shortened to Baby. Baby passed away in 2011 and she talked her sister into getting her another dog. It was a Maltese she named Penelope, but for some reason she called it Snow Ball. She loved singing in the car to the 60’s,70’s,and 80’s songs….Country, Rock or R&B…she liked them all. She loved to color pictures and hand them out for birthday presents, “I love you” presents, Valentines, Easter, St. Patrick’s, any day! She loved putting puzzles together. She loved her special pillows and her “sister” blanket. She was famous for her back rubs. Her smile was contagious and she radiated joy and happiness every day. She was so loved by so many.
She left behind people who absolutely adored her. Her brother Mike Coffman and sister-in law Cathy Coffman, her brother Jack Coffman and her sister Susie Coffman Lunn and brother-in-law Gordon Lunn.
