Mary was born on August 25, 1936, in Randolph County, the daughter of the late Willie Ray Jordan and Laura McNeill Jordan, and was the last survivor of 11 children.

The most important part of Mary's life was her faith. She was a true devoted follower of Jesus Christ. She deeply loved her Lord. Part of the way she showed her love for Christ was the way she loved, prayed and cared for her family each and every day.

She was a founding member of Rushwood Church, where she taught Sunday School for over 50 years. Mary was also an active choir member and instrumental with planning church events, including Rushwood's 50th anniversary.

She retired from Klaussner Furniture as one of the first female supervisors. She loved to cook and garden.

Mrs. Coltrane was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Gilbert Coltrane.

Mrs. Coltrane is survived by her daughters, Marlene Dawalt (Mark), Teena Vanvick (Mark); son, Crandel Coltrane (Jessica); grandchildren, Hannah Wilson (Dustin), Joshua Dawalt (Keisha), Luke Vanvick, Ben Vanvick, Cole Vanvick, Carson Coltrane, Mary Kathryn Coltrane; great grandchildren, Paylina Wilson, Liliana Wilson, Addison Dawalt, Emmaline Wilson, Jordyn Dawalt, Coulter Wilson, Brentley Wilson.

The family will receive friends at Ridge Funeral Home from 1:00 to 2:15 p.m., Sunday, February 25, 2024, at Ridge Funeral Home prior to the service, and other times at the home of Marlene and Mark Dawalt.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at Cross Road Retirement Community, Memory Care, and to the staff at Randolph Hospice House for the special care provided to Mary.
