Anna Louise Coffie and James Eady received a gorgeous life-giving gift in the form of a daughter on July 28, 1951. Char- lotte Joyce Coffie was a precious jewel born in the Sulphur Springs Community was raised by her grandmother, Alice L. Thomas after Momma Anna passed. Charlotte was baptized as a child at Springhill M. B. Church. She attended the schools of Hillsborough County and graduated from Chamber- lain High School; she was a proud Chief Alumni. Her work ethic was unmatched if she com- mitted to a job it was done with excellence. She worked and re- tired from the University of South Florida Physical Plant. Her most esteemed job was be- coming a mother to her pride and joy, her only daughter, Be- linda Jean Dooley in 1972. She loved her family and cherished her friends. If God sent you into her life, you were forever family!
She became a member of 34th St. COG under the leader- ship of Bishop Thomas Scott. She served humbly until her health declined. She served peo- ple with compassion and a smile as a member of the Usher’s Min- istry, Hospitality Ministry, Women’s Ministry, and anyone that knew her, can attest to the fact that she believed in feeding people, so working at the 34th St. Bethesda Food Pantry was an assignment she took seriously. Her work and servant leader- ship went beyond the walls of the church, she was a honored member of the Family Enrich- ment Center Grandparent Sup- port Group, the East Tampa CDC community group, Board mem- ber of the Saints and Tampa Hurricanes Little League Foot- ball, Elder Advisor for the Dev- ereux Kids YSIA Teen group, Derrick Brooks Charities Youth Program and worked on many campaigns of elected officials; she was the founding President of the Sulphur Springs Seniors and sooooo many other volun- teer positions. Her greatest pas- sion besides feeding people was
FOOTBALL from little league to pro, she enjoyed every game. If the Buccaneers had a section that said fan for life, a jersey with her name would be hung there.
