Mary Louise Coons

Mary Louise Coons, a woman known for her kindness, love, and thoughtfulness, passed away peacefully on August 23, 2023, in Plant City, FL. Born on June 24, 1934, in Elmira, NY, to the late Floyd Gregory and Mary Olderoyd, Mary's life was characterized by an unwavering love for family, work, and animals.

Mary's professional life was dedicated to Kraft Foods, where her passion and commitment were evident throughout her many years of service. She found joy in her work, and her colleagues often commented on her infectious enthusiasm and dedication. Outside of work, Mary was an ardent patron of Dodos Hobby Shop in Seffner, where she would often spend hours indulging in her love for hobbies and crafts.

Mary's love for animals was unparalleled, a trait evident in her deep affection for her goats and cats. Her home was a sanctuary for these animals, and she found great joy in their companionship. Mary's kindness extended beyond her family and pets; she was known in her community for her generosity and thoughtfulness, always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.

Mary was predeceased by her beloved husband, Warren Coons, and her parents, Floyd Gregory and Mary Olderoyd. She leaves behind a loving family, including her son, Warren Coons Jr., her son Charles Coons and his wife Kim, and three cherished grandchildren. Each of them carries forward the memory of her love and kindness.

Mary's life can be best summed up by the words of Maya Angelou: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Mary made everyone around her feel loved and cherished, and her memory will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of those who knew her.

In celebrating Mary's life, we remember a woman of grace, kindness, and love. Her spirit of generosity, her love for her family, and her dedication to her work and hobbies are a testament to a life well lived. Mary Louise Coons will be deeply missed, but her legacy of love and kindness will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
