Peggy Jo Ratton Coe Huddleston was born August 22, 1935 in Smackover, Arkansas, and stepped into the presence of her Lord and Savior March 28, 2022 at the age of 86. She was preceded in death by her parents Jess and Helen Ratton, her sister Pat Ratton, her husband Dan Coe (35 years), and second husband L.W. Huddleston (18 years). She is survived by her daughters - Trish Fletcher (husband John) of Fort Worth, Kathi Coe (wife Heather) of San Antonio, and her son Mike Coe (wife Sonia) of Round Rock, three grandchildren - Leeann Morris (husband Brent), Leslie (husband Nate), and Michael Coe, five great grandchildren - Tyson, McKinley, Maddox, Colton, and Kate, along with many well loved cousins, friends, and other extended family.
She attended Smackover High School and Southern State College in Magnolia, Arkansas. She was a member of Delta Kappa Gamma. She retired as an elementary school teacher in 1993 having taught 25 years. Co-teachers tell of how she was always the spirit of things with her humor and love of people.
She loved quilting, playing the piano, painting, playing games, working puzzles, keeping up with friends on Facebook, being with the great grands (and of course other family members), and most of all…unfrosted blueberry Pop-tarts (toasted with butter). She was known for her carefree attitude toward life, loving to talk to others about their lives, wherever she went and most of all, she trusted in Jesus.
