Dear Coe Family, Sincere condolences for your loss. She was truly a wonderful lady and will be missed by everyone who knew her. You will all be in my prayers. Sincerly, Marilyn Ashby, a fellow BPW member

We are so sorry to learn of Moe's passing. She was a dear friend and a true pillar of the community. She did so much for Vermilion in so many ways. She was always there when we needed her. Moe will be missed tremendously. Our deepest sympathy, Gary Barnby & Bill Dalo

Our heartfelt sorrow and shock of hearing of Mos's passing is leaving a big hole in our hearts. Memories of the good times we once shared has helped me as tonight as I look through the many albums of our life. May God be with Sam, Jeff and Dee Dee during this very hard time. Deepest sympathy Darlene & Dave

My husband and I recently moved to Loveland, Colorado from Vermilion. But we still get the Vermilion Photo Journal where we read about the passing of Maureen Coe. It is hard to imagine Vermilion without Maureen and her leadership and enthusiasm. Beyond that, she was a friend to me. She always had a positive greeting, a big smile and a twinkle in her eyes. I am so sad, a feeling which I am sure is shared by many in the community. Please offer our sincere condolences to Maureen's family. ...
