Our sympathies extended to the families of.... Mary Jo Cobbs

There will be a Memorial Service for Mary Jo (Armer) Cobbs, a former Coalgate resident, Saturday, April 17, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. at Coalgate First Baptist Church.

Mrs. Cobbs was born March 30, 1932 and passed away January 14, 2021.

“Rest easy, sweet, gentle Mary.” This from the lips of a cousin who had lived with her for some time. Mary’s life was one of giving, loving and caring for others: rich or poor, sane or not, or hurting souls, as well as many relatives.

Mary worked in the oil and gas industry her entire career in OKC, St. Louis, Charlotte, N.C., Chicago, and finally Tulsa where she had her own business, Energy Auditing Service. There she married Jim Cobbs and they were married for 25 years until January 1, 2020 when he passed away. They were members of Harvard Avenue Christian Church. Mary had no children. Jim had four boys who by then were grown and married with children. Mary loved seeing their children, usually at family gatherings.

She gave life all she had. Now our Lord is greeting her and I think saying “Well done, my good and faithful servant”.

She is survived by siblings, Betty Armer Cook and husband George and Paul Armer and wife Eva Reed Armer and various cousins, nieces and nephew and their offspring.

Mary was predeceased by brothers, Evert Armer and Don Armer.
