December 30, 1926 — December 14, 2023

 

Edna Kathleen Robinette Coates, 96, formerly of Statesville, died Thursday, December 14, 2023, at The Greens of Hickory.

She was born on December 30, 1926, to the late Lawson Wheeler Robinette and Vera Opal Adams Robinette. She was also preceded in death by two sons, Edward Coates and Wayne Coates.

Edna was a member of Calvary Community Baptist Church where she was a faithful member as long as her health allowed. She was a people person and never met a stranger.
