Beth Ann Coyle

Beth Ann Coyle

She was a force to be reckoned with: a tell it like it is kind of girl.  Of course, Beth Ann also had a very caring side, the perfect combination for a critical care nurse and organ transplant coordinator.  She was known for always working the night shift. A stray cat could do no better than to find its way to Beth Ann’s front steps. 

She cared for three in her home and a few more feral ones outside.  In her youth she enjoyed showing off her athletic prowess: soccer, softball and track and she was the editor of the school newspaper.  She developed a love for southern living, even embracing the Dallas Cowboys.  If her T.V. was on she’d probably be checking out the zombie apocalypse: a fan of The Walking Dead.  And she was partial to the Pensacola Florida area: Beth Ann loved the beach and fun in the sun.  In her spare time, she loved walks on the beach but, of course, made exceptions for wine and paint. 

Her family will miss her as their ultimate protector. She is survived by her siblings, Allison Lee King and Matthew T. Coyle; her niece, Alyssa King and many cousins.

Services celebrating 56 great years will be held privately.

    I was friends with Beth for almost 20 years. We shared conversations, a love for sports, pets and so many things ,there isn’t time to mention. We talked at least once a week and sometimes every day. She leaves behind family, friends and pets that loved her, and will miss her deeply. She loved her profession as well as charitable works, of which, I am only now beginning to learn the full extent of her contributions. We attended holidays and festivals together and i am reminded of a movie quote as I think of my own loss.

    -” I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they’re gone. I guess I just miss my friend.”-

    I love you Beth, goodbye my friend.
    To your family I send my prayers.

    I am so sad to be reading of Beth’s paasing. I worked nights with her in Bedford, Tx and she was a great nurse, but a better friend. RIP Beth💙
