Carollene Moise (Coats)

Carollene Moise (Coats)

 

Carollene Sharon Moise Coats

Oct. 4, 1946-June 12, 2020

     Carollene Sharon (Moise) Coats, age 73, daughter of George Raymond Moise and Glendolla (Crawford) Bennett was born,  October 4, 1946 in Houston, MO. She passed away June 12, 2020 in Springfield, MO.

     Carollene grew up in Houston, and went all thirteen years of school in Houston, graduating with the class of 1964.

     Carollene was preceded in death by her husband, Ray Coats, Jr; her parents; one sister, Elaine Colburn; and one brother, Michael Ray Moise.

     She is survived by her daughter, Lorette’ Smith and husband, Lester of Bucyrus, MO; one sister, Marlene Branson and her husband, Kenny of Slidell, TX; one granddaughter, Pheadra Kay Smith of Bucyrus, MO; one sister in law, Jan Moise of Hartville, MO; two nephews, Robert Blaine Holder of Cabool, MO, and Jason Daniel Moise of Waynesville, MO; four nieces: Bridgett Baney of Lexington, TN, LaDawn Fitzgerald of Krum, TX, Karla Stastny of Celina, TX, and Krista Burger of Pilot Point, TX; twelve great nieces and nephews; and seven (soon to be eight) great great nieces and nephews. Everyone was a very big part of her life and well loved by her.

     Carollene married Kenneth Wesley Skouby, June 8, 1964 and to this union one daughter was born. They divorced in 1978. She married Ray Coats, Jr March 3, 1986.

     She was a member of the Northside Baptist Church, Houston, MO. She was baptized at the age of nine at Dogs Bluff outside of Houston.

     Right out of High School, Carollene attended Beauty School in Springfield, MO. She came back to Houston and set up shop. It can be said that there is not a head of hair she has not touched in Houston, MO! She retired after forty years.

     Carollene moved to Nebraska in 1975 with her then husband Kenneth, and after their divorce, moved to Springfield, MO, where she continued hair styling. In 1984, she moved to Republic with Lorette’. She met back up with her high school sweetheart, Ray Coats, Jr and married him. They moved back to the Bucyrus area where she had a milking business. She was proud to be a milk farmer even though it was hard work. She loved her cows. After retiring from milking, they moved to the West Plains area. After his death, she moved back to Houston.

     Carollene was highly active with her High School class alumni. She helped coordinate many 1964 class reunions, and never missed a class reunion in 55 years. She felt that her classmates were also her family and often was heard saying that her high school years were her “Golden Years.”

     Carollene was an avid quilter, hand sewing many numerous quilts. She also loved reading, and when she lost her sight in 2006, she still would listen to books. She loved anything that had to do with water, going to the lake, camping, fishing, skiing, tubing, or floating. She also loved to travel; one of her favorite trips was to Meeker, CO, Elk hunting with Ray, but the most favorite trip was the month she spent in Puerto Rico with her niece, Bridgett Baney. But her most favorite pastime was spending time with family. Holidays and birthdays were the best when she was there. Carollene was an avid storyteller and could recount past stories about family so the stories could be passed on down.

     Carollene was a wonderful and kind, wife, mother, grannie, aunt, and friend to all that knew her. She never had a cross word to say to or about someone. And always prayed for everyone. It is with heartfelt sorrow to say she will be missed by any and all that knew her.

Oh Carollene, you were such a special person, always smiling, I just can't believe you're gone. We spoke on the phone for a long, long time,a few days before the last reunion since I couldn't make it, and tried to catch up on life, and our kids, our health issues, and so many funny memories we experienced together. I will hold that precious conversation forever in my heart. You will truly be missed.

Carollene, I am not sure when this occured or even what happened but I am seeing post for the past week or so that you decided to go on with out us. I know it has been a little rough for you for awhile now so I can't fuss at you for that deceision. I do want you to know that you will be missed by the rest of us but it is comforting to know that you will be there to greet us when we make the trip .I enjoyed seeing you at the last class reunion and tossing candy with you from our float ride.Put in a good word for me and Rest in Peace until our next reunion. Leon

Her smile and wit brought joy.  I'm grateful for the time we shared at the 55th class reunion.  In my mind she will be forever young.
