Hermie Coley Obituary
Hermie Davis Coley, 95, wife of the late Fred Clinton Coley, passed away on January 9, 2025. Hermie was born on April 8, 1929 in Marion, NC, to the late Isabel Gibson and Harvey Davis.
She was a devoted wife and mother. Traveling with her husband was a highlight of her life. Hermie loved the world around her. Gardening and fishing made her happy, but being with family and friends made her life complete. Never meeting a stranger, her “gift of gab” brought happiness to everyone.

Fox (Tim) of Spartanburg, SC, and a son, Fred Coley (Karla) of Montgomery, Alabama, grandchildren; James Coley (Shannen), Clint Coley, Amy Stepp (Dennis), Kimberly Johnson, and Leah Pangel (Mark), and five great grandchildren, Emma Stepp, Michael Stepp, Natalie Stepp, Lainey Pangel, and Haston Pangel. In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her daughter, Jennifer Johnson; and siblings, Bill Davis, J. D. Davis, Bonnie Vess, Lillian Mullinax, Frances Ratchford, and Inez Hamm.
The family would like to send a special thank you to the caring staff at both Upstate Community Hospice House and Restoration Assisted Living.
Funeral Services will be 12:00pm on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, conducted by Rev. Michael Stepp and Rev. Grover Timms, at the J.M. Dunbar Funeral Home, 690 Southport Rd. Roebuck, SC 29376. The family will receive friends immediately following the service. Burial will be private.
