She was a member of the Church of the Heavenly Rest, Episcopal, where she was involved in many service projects. Coletta was a member of the Abilene Interfaith Council, Daughters of the King, ECW, St. Margaret’s Guild and was a 20+ year volunteer for the Church of the Heavenly Rest Thrift House.

She loved her family dearly and the feeling was extremely mutual. She was never happier than when her family was around her. Coletta is also survived by many, many dear friends with whom she spent countless happy hours volunteering, exercising, and just plain having fun. She had a rich and full life and was blessed with many wonderful experiences. There will be a memorial service for her at the Church of the Heavenly Rest, Episcopal at a later date.
