They were blessed with four children, Rev. David Cole, Debbie Riniker, Rev. James Cole and Frank Cole.

Born Nov. 17, 1918, in Ridgefield Park, N.J., she was the daughter of the late Rev. David and Mrs. Gertrude Sadler. Mrs. Atema was a graduate of William Patterson University (B.S. degree in elementary education) and of Penn State University (master's degree in education). She taught for thirty years in various states until her retirement in 1980.

Mrs. Atema was a former member of First Baptist Church of Frederick, where she served as the third grade Sunday school teacher for eighteen years and directed the Vacation Bible School for eight years and the Women's Missionary Union for seven years.

Mrs. Atema was a member of the Mission Service Corporation of the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. She participated in partnership evangelism of the Southern Baptist Convention International Mission Board. Most recently, she was a member of the Emmanuel Bible Church in Frederick.
