| This is my mother's side of my
family. The only Grandparents I knew came from this branch.
(Daddy's parents died before I was born). My grandmother, (Hazel
Naomi Coffey-Musgrave) was a very positive influence in my childhood.
She was also a very special person to me. We lived with her,
or near her until I was about 6 or 7 years old. She was a no-nonsense
person, but was always careing and loving. Grandma was very religious,
and LIVED her religion. She didn't preach it, but she did influence
me with it. |
| Grandma and grandpa Coffey (Cleveland
Cleophus Coffey and Stella Mae Inman - my great grandparents) were also
special people. I don't remember grandma Coffey very well, she died
when I was fairly young. But, grandpa Coffey I got to know well.
The picture that Norman Rockwell did with the "white haired, mustached"
old guy, where he's looking through an old trunk with two young children,
remind me a lot of my grandpa Coffey. In that picture, the old guy
had a twinkle in his eye, and the two kids seem to be having a ball.
That was my grandpa Coffey! He was always telling us stories, while he
whittled, by the way. He was a very sweet person, and I'll always
remember him. |
