Obituary for Coeta M Webb
Coeta
Allie Mae Webb, 85 years old, peacefully returned to her Heavenly Home
on Tuesday, July 14, 2020 in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. She was the treasured
wife and widow of Marion Franklin 'Bear' Webb. They lovingly shared 60
years of marriage before Bear's passing.
Coeta was the first born child of Thomas Dixon Spears and Philadelphia (Delphia) Mae Perry born in Tahlequah, Oklahoma on June 05, 1935.
She attended school at Briggs, Tahlequah Public Schools, Mountain Park and Granite High School, where she graduated in 1953. Coeta worked in cafes, various clothing and grocery stores, including S and W Grocery, in which she was co-owner; and,worked as a cook at Camp Egan where the summer staff and summer campers lovingly referred to her as 'Granny'.
Coeta met the love of her life in Mountain Park,Oklahoma in 1949. They eloped July 07, 1955 after Bear returned from serving in the US Marine Corps, First Marine Division. It was then that their 60+ year love story began.
They were soon blessed with children Coeta Elaine Wilson (Ron), Bennie Thomas ( Lora) , Elizabeth Dawn Northrup (Marshal), Marian June Turner (Tim), and Paul Raedel(Jodie).
Coeta was blessed with a caring, generous nature and would put others' needs ahead of her own in many instances, without hesitation. Coeta demonstrated a great love for her children, grand children, and great grandchildren. She lovingly and patiently taught them to cook, bake, and sew. Little did they know they were being instructed by a multiple and numerous blue ribbon winner!
Coeta's quick wit, charm, sense of humor, and lively stories made for a joyful and memorable visit for all those she encountered.
She began singing gospel songs with her daddy while attending Wolf Springs church as a child. She would then later sing quartet gospel with her daughter's. Coeta had a beautiful clear tone, which strongly resembled the late, great Kitty Wells. Her voice could be heard throughout the house as a favorite song broadcast on the radio.
Coeta especially enjoyed tending her flowers and admiring their sublime beauty. Among her favorites were Irises, Rose of Sharon, and Marigolds. She loved wild roses and blue Oklahoma wildflowers.
Above all, Coeta consistently demonstrated an unwavering, steadfast, and true faith in the Lord. She faithfully prayed for her family, and relied greatly on the Lord as her Master Physician. She said," He's the best doctor I could have." She never had a surgery in all of her 85 years.And, up until returning to her Heavenly home, she still praised and thanked the Lord for the blessings of her life and family.
She was a pillar of strength and ready to greet and stand before the Lord. She was prepared to meet her 'Bear', her dad and Mom, brothers Tommy, Donnie, and Jimmy Spears: sister Gayle McCurley, all who preceded her Heavenly Return.
She leaves behind her five children and spouses, 12 grandchildren and 15 great grand children; sister Patricia Whiting, (Ron), Georgina Wilson; Erma Rogers(Ed); brothers Ron Spears, Denver Spears (Donna); Phillip Wilson ( Margie) ;sisters-in-law Carleta Spears and Patty Spears, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Viewing Saturday, July 18 from 9-5, and Sunday, July 19 from 1-6 at Green Country Funeral Home. Services are scheduled for Monday, July 20, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. in the Green Country Funeral Home Chapel. Graveside dedication to follow at Manus Cemetery.
