Donna Cecilia Coe, 72, of Marble Falls passed away Sept. 3, 2016. She was born Nov. 25, 1943, in Blanco to Cecil Kenneth Smith and Sybil Shockley Smith.

Donna graduated from Marble Falls High School in 1962, and the same year, was married to Ray Coe. She was engaged in different endeavors throughout her life — as a beautician, real estate agent and in various businesses in Marble Falls with her husband. Donna was a founding member and later assistant director of the Marble Falls Crisis Center and was also involved in the local prison ministry.

Donna very much loved the outdoors and enjoyed activities such as tennis, hunting and fishing. She enjoyed being involved in the church and community

Donna is survived by her husband, Ray; sons and daughters-in-law, Lane and Ingrid Coe of Austin and Preston and Anita Coe of Budapest, Hungary; daughter, Holly Groth of Kingsland; grandson Dylan Thielepape and fiancee Emily Taylor of Marble Falls; and sister-in-law Jane Smith of Cherokee.

She was preceded in death by her parents and brother Kenneth Smith.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Jack Franklin and his nurses who went above and beyond to offer the outstanding care she received. Also, thanks to Scott & White Hospice and nurses Charla and Jean and aide Tracy and Kendal Respite Care at Fellowship Baptist Church. Of course, the family could not have done any of this without the exemplary work of Donna’s caregivers Linda Richter and Rhonda Banta.
