We received the folowing note from her grand daughter Rachel Washington (which I exerpt here)...
"Thank you so much for your prayers. My grandmother passed last Sunday (December 14, 2008). She had been diagnosed with demensia and cervical cancer. She told the doctors and her daughter, Marlene that she was tired and wanted to go home to be with her husband and daughter. She was in hospice only two days. Cervical cancer is very painful. We are happy she didn't suffer too long. The only other info to give you is the location of the celebration. Her daughter, Marlene Simmons can be reached at (Phone numbers in St Louis, Mo.)
The service and burial will take place all in the same day, Monday, December 22, 2008. Viewing is only from 10am- 11am with the service immediately after.

Correction:
I am a grandaughter of Samella Coates. Her husband's name (my grandfather) was James Baron Coates.
Donna, I made an adjustment to the mention of your grandfather in paragraph 1 in order to increase the clarity. In the old version it could have been misread to mean that Albertine Williams was the spouse, but this was not the case. Thank you for the correction and comment.
