MT STERLING - Ethelyn E. Coffey, 83, widow of George "Buck" Coffey, passed away on Nov. 7, 2006, after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born in Morgan County to Walter M. Henry and Mary Fugate Henry on May 23, 1923.

She is survived by a daughter, Mary Jo Swanson (Douglas) of Warba, Minn., three grandchildren, Jodi Anderson (Brad), of Eagan, Minn., Joel Swanson (Stacy) of Fargo, ND, and Alex Zhukov (Jodi) of Duluth, Minn., a sister-in law, Edith Smith of Owensboro, four great grandchildren, Jackson Anderson, Jillian Anderson, Sean Swanson, Kendall Jo Swanson, and several nieces, nephews and cousins.

The family extends its gratitude to the staff at Mary Chiles Hospital for their loving care, especially to Mary Linden, Donna Adams, Blanche Purvis and Malida Smoot. A very special thanks is given to Dr. Richard Hall, Becky Royse and the St. Claire Hospice Service, and to all her many friends who stayed by her side throughout this long ordeal.
