Born in Beatrice, NE on September 11th, 1932 to William and Iva Baumfalk. She was the oldest of 4 children.
She met Francis "Fritz" Coyle and married after just 16 days in 1964!
She was always loving and provided excellent care to whomever needed it. When she was 13, she began her medical career as an Aide. She went on to get her LPN in 1958 and her RN in 1976. She especially liked working in ICU, CCU and the surgical floor. After many years of working in those areas, she went back to school to obtain her Director License and worked as either a Director of Nursing or facility Director at many long term facilities in Greeley, Fort Morgan and surrounding areas.
She loved Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior along with the deep love she had for her family.
Her and Fritz traveled extensively on their motorcycle from Mississippi to Southern Canada. She enjoyed camping and the beautiful mountains!
