Margaret "Ann" Cole

Margaret Ann “Momma Ann” Cole, age 74, passed away on July 27, 2015 peacefully at her home in Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee surrounded by her family. Ann was a member of Mt. Zion Church of Christ.

Ann was born in Maury County on March 30, 1941 to the late Raymond Wood and Ruth P. Wood. Ann has been a long time resident of Mt. Pleasant. She graduated from Hay Long High School in Mt. Pleasant in 1959, where she enjoyed being a majorette. She was a loving wife of fifty-six years to Brother James Dalton “Dalton” Cole, and dedicated mother to her three children, six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Ann owned All Occasions flower shop in Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee; she worked at Mt. Pleasant High School as a librarian aid. Ann lovingly became known as Momma Ann because she took in anyone who needed anything; she was a mother to all that had the privilege of knowing her. Momma Ann always had food on the counter and an ear to listen to everyone. Momma Ann enjoyed her family and always wanted her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren around. There was not a holiday that has gone by that Ann has not fixed a feast for all.
