Charlotte was born on April 4, 1951, to Addis William Blake and Audrey Hinton Gray in Ringgold, Louisiana and passed away on January 4, 2025, at home in Keithville, Louisiana.

Charlotte was a caring and wonderful person that anyone that had the privilege of knowing her, could consider themselves lucky. There was nothing she couldn’t accomplish if she set her mind to it. She got her GED and then went on to get her paralegal license at LSU-Shreveport. She was a notary public as well. Charlotte was a wife and mother of four children as well as a devoted and loving sister, doting grandmother and great-grandmother. She worked three jobs providing for her children. Charlotte worked her way up at Schumpert Hospital from a Ward Clerk to being the Risk Manager for over 20 years. She was an avid crocheter and enjoyed photo enhancement and cooking. She was an amazing cook and managed to sneak veggies into her meatloaf without her children’s knowledge.

Charlotte is preceded in death by her parents, Addis Blake and Audrey Gray; children, Lisa Meader, and  Kimberly Jones; siblings, Katherine Brown, Barbara Wallingsford, and Larry Blake. Left to cherish her memory is her husband of 37 years, Marvin Coker; daughters, Rhonda Holley, and Christi Thibodaux; stepsons, Casey Coker, and Sam Coker; siblings, Sherry Hunter, Maxine Morgan, Mark Blake and Tammy Blake; 10 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild.
