She was the daughter of Benjamin Franklin Coley and Mary Lizzie Radford. She was married twice. Her first husband was Lonnie West. Her second husband was Willis Lynn. She had gone visiting in Chapel Hill and as she was walking down the street, an aneurysm in her head burst. This led to a stroke and she died 24 hours later.
Her death certificate gives her as being born in 1926. But she was not born then. She was born in 1918. She is listed as two years old on the 1920 census and almost 9 years old on the 1930 census. Her birth was not recorded except for in a family bible that was lost about 1929, when the family lost most of what they owned in the great depression.
