Susan Grace

Coffey

Susan Grace Coffey who was born in Oakland, CA and currently residing in Blanchard, Oklahoma.  She put up a good fight and lost her battle with covid-19 on October 11,2020.

Susan will be "39" forever and would kick our behinds if we disclosed her real age.

She was best friends with husband Robert Coffey whom she met one summer while working in a peach cannery in Turlock California.  They fell in love and had a happy and interesting marriage as a chef and devoted military wife for over 3 decades.

She was the "best mom ever" and biggest fan of her oldest daughter, Aina (Christine) Heathcock, an artist from Indiahoma, Oklahoma.  She was also very proud of her daughter Lisa Brand who resides in Seattle and is a real estate agent.  She will be missed by all, her big "sis" and occasional partner in crime, Sharon Ingham, her nieces and nephew, Keith, Kathy and Dianne in California.  She lit up the lives of her grandchildren, Lyndsey, Amber, Shane, Cole and Lexi. She also left behind eight great-grandchildren, Roz, Ayden, Logynn, Skyler, Grace, Donny and just met the newest additions, twins, Christopher and Hannah.

Everyone loved "Suzy" and if she met you, you were her friend forever.  She loved the holidays and threw large open-door gatherings and welcomed everyone.  Over the years they included her family, so many lonely soldiers and other grateful friends whom she considered family.

She loved dogs, traveling, music, laughter, inappropriate jokes. When she wasn't walking with her husband and dogs, she enjoyed reading great books, music and cooking.  Or you might find her at her favorite slot machines with the most lights flashing that would "play with her".  Her laugh was contagious and came from her belly.  Her pet peeve was being mistaken for being old, because she was so young at heart!

What she loved most was anything that included friends and family.  She was looking forward to moving closer to them and traveling in her new RV.

She disliked funerals but often spoke of a celebration of life in her honor.  She would insist that everyone stay safe during COVID therefore, we will be holding a life celebration in the near and safe future.

If you feel the need to send flowers or gifts, Susan would prefer a small donation to an animal shelter of your choice.

We would like to thank all of the staff in the ICU, covid-19 unit at St. Anthony's in Oklahoma City for trying their best, working long, hard hours and being kind during her last days.

Mom, you are loved by so many.  We hope you are surrounded by love, music and laughter and our loved ones that left before you.

Bye bye until we see you again.
