Joanne Coggins, beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, went to be with the Lord on March 20, 2026, at the age of 83.

She was born on April 1, 1942, in Medford, Wisconsin, to the late Clinton Wallace and Mabel Katherine Whitby Hollander. Joanne moved with her family to Gainesville, Florida, after high school. Later in life, she and her family relocated to North Carolina, where she became a cherished member of her community.

Joanne was known for her deep faith, kindness, and commitment to service. She worked as an accountant for Calvary Baptist Church and Blaise Baptist Church, where she found a second family and a purpose. Joanne also served as both youth and music leader, touching the lives of many with her love for Christ and her passion for helping others. One of her most beloved roles was leading the handbell choir, a ministry that brought joy to all who participated and listened.

In addition to her work at church, Joanne was an avid crafter, always ready to share her creations with loved ones. She cherished spending time with her family and friends, creating memories and offering her support and care. Her warm heart, generous spirit, and unwavering faith will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Joanne is survived by her husband, James Richard Coggins; sons, Kevin Richard Coggins and Roger James Coggins; grandchildren, Amber Coggins and Joshua Coggins; and brother, Brian Hollander.

Her legacy of love, faith, and service will continue to inspire all who were blessed to know her.

A memorial service will be held at Blaise Baptist Church on March 28th to celebrate Joanne's life and her devotion to the Lord. Visitation at 1pm and memorial service at 2pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Blaise Baptist Church, 134 Blaise Church Road, Mocksville, NC 27028, Memo: Handyman/Disaster Recovery Ministry.
