She was born June 8, 1937, in the small community of Penile Hill (Decherd) in Franklin County, Tennessee to Ruby Elizabeth (Merryman) and Raymond David Coble.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother, William (Billy) Franklin Coble, and her ex-husband and friend, Frank Haskell Jr.
She is survived by her two daughters, Susan (Terry Hayes) and Marjorie (Robert Gore); six grandchildren, Jeremy, Joel (Elizabeth), Tess, Naomi (Don Poe), Jacob (Frances), and Jesse (Kimmie); three great-grandchildren, Hannah Hayes, Kelsie Lucchesi, and Finley Hayes; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
A graduate of Franklin County High School (Class of '55), she spent many years at Mary Sharp School before going to college and earning her Masters in Childhood Nutrition. Coming back to be the Director of Nutrition in Franklin County, she then moved to Georgia and worked for the State of Georgia reviewing the meal plans of the Head Start Day Care centers, retiring in 2002.
She was always active with 4-H and the Franklin County Family and Community Education (FCE) program. Her true love was sewing, especially quilting. She enjoyed showing her works at Craft Fairs and Quilting on the Mountain, which gave her an opportunity to brag about her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
