Coby had a total love of life and her happy places were Florida and Heritage Place where she was surrounded by many friends. Growing plants was a huge pleasure for her and she was delighted with the variety of flowers she could grow in Florida. Over the years, she has played multiple sports and the friends she made were lifetime cherished memories. In the past fifteen years, most of her vacations revolved around golfing on the way to their destinations.  Nothing excited her more than having all of her children and grandchildren gathered together where she could plan a huge meal. “The Lord took my wonderful wife home quicker than we anticipated but thankfully I have many cherished memories.”

Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be held at the H. A. Kebbel Funeral Home, Aylmer on Sunday from 1-4:00 p.m.  The funeral service will be held at the Aylmer Christian Reformed Church on Monday, January 20, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. Donations to the Lung Association would be appreciated.
