Cecilia Ann Coffman

March 14, 1924 ~ March 25, 2014 (age 90) 90 Years Old
Cecilia Ann Coffman

Born to Eternal Life on Tuesday, March 25, 2014 at the age of 90 years. Daughter of the late Andrew and Quinta (Pinti) Palcich. Beloved wife of the late James Lee Coffman. Loving mother of Linda Jean (Vincents) Dindzans and Brenda Marie (John) Hagni. Dear grandmother of Andra (Greg) Morton, Karlis and Viktors Dindzans, Heather, Bianca, and the late Garrett Hagni. Dear sister of the late John (Virginia), Alfred, Bernard and Marianne Palcich. Further survived by other relatives and friends.
Cecilia graduated from Washington-Irving High School in 1942.
During World War II, she was proud of her contribution at Weirton steel. As a member of the team in the chemical lab, she was responsible to help ensure the consistent quality of the steel that was produced during the war effort.
She and Jim, her husband of 60 years, lived briefly in Virginia, then later in Maryland and finally in Wisconsin.
Cecilia was well named. Her love of music was shared with St. Cecilia, its patron Saint. She was a violinist with her high school orchestra and attended music conservatory. Later in life, she was a member of the Wilkinsburg Symphony and a vocal soloist and conductor of church choirs. She later taught herself to play the cello.
Cecilia was a homemaker who considered her greatest achievement the passage on of her love of music. Classical music radio was constantly in the background at home. She taught both daughters to play the violin and later encouraged them to learn wind instruments. Her daughter Brenda plays flute professionally in Pennsylvania and her daughter Linda sings with the Bel Canto Chorus in Milwaukee.

The family takes comfort that Cecilia now "sings Him a new song and makes music at her best among shouts of joy!" Psalm 33:3

Bach gave us God's Word. Mozart gave us God's laughter.
Beethoven gave us God's fire.
God gave us Music that we might pray without words.
- Quote outside an old German opera house
