Marguerite Coker

COKER
Aug. 6, 1926-Oct. 23, 2015
Marguerite Taylor Coker, 89, of Pensacola, FL went to be with her Lord on Friday, October 23, 2015. Her relationship with God as her Lord and Savior confirms that this is truly a time of rejoicing. Though we will miss her dearly, fellow believers rejoice with her over her glorious change of address! Marguerite was born in Eclectic, AL and lived most of her life in Mobile, AL. She was an active member of Greystone Bible Church. She was the last surviving child of Claude and Pearl Taylor's twelve children. Marguerite was a sweet southern lady, a devoted wife, mother and mama. She was always attentive to the needs of her family and many friends. She had a special way of noticing and befriending those who really needed someone to care. She sought ways to minister to the needs of others. She loved gardening, working in her yard and could grow anything. She made a lasting impact on the lives of all who were blessed enough to know her. Marguerite leaves her family to cherish her memory. Those counting it a privilege to have been a part of her life are: Her devoted husband of 69 years, Gaines Coker; a daughter, Linda (Dennis) Williams of Seminole, AL; a daughter, Jennifer (Dale) Wilson of Pensacola, FL; a son, Gaines (Missy) Coker, II of Tyron, GA; five grandchildren, Gregory Williams, Craig (Brenda) Williams, Robyn (Neal) Shenberger, Jeremy (Kate) Wilson, and Gaines Coker, III; six great-grandchildren, Dixie, Dalton, Deacon, Savannah, Olivia and Lincoln; other relatives and friends. Ruth Bailey was Marguerite's caregiver for two and a half years with Pam West's assistance. We are truly grateful for their love and care of our mom. In lieu of flowers, please make memorial donations to Emerald Coast Hospice, 1555 N. Palafox St., Pensacola, FL 32501 or Greystone Bible Church, 5350 Girby Road, Mobile, AL 36693.
