COBURN, Dorothy Cooley
Dorothy Cooley Coburn, of Phoenix, AZ, formerly of Kensington, passed away after a valiant fight with cancer on Sunday (January 6, 2002) at her home in Phoenix, AZ. Born January 9, 1934 in Pittsfield, MA, she graduated from Dalton High School, and then attended Boston University receiving a Bachelor of Science Degree followed by a Masters Degree in Nursing. Dorothy was an associate professor in Psych Nursing at UCONN, retiring after 20 years of service. She also worked for over ten years at Grove Hill Medical Center with a private practice in the Psychiatry department until leaving for Arizona. Ms. Coburn is survived by her loving and caring children, her son, Douglass Coburn of Phoenix, AZ; daughters, Dawn Coburn and Daryl Coburn Baird of Kensington. Dorothy also leaves two grandchildren, her joys, Corey Coburn, formerly of Phoenix, AZ, and Samantha Baird, both residing in Kensington. Also surviving are Eunice Deming Hutchins, sister; Joyce Lamb, cousin; Cathy Smith and Joyce Webb, her guardian nieces; and her cherished Aunt, Flo Merrill, all of Colorado. She also leaves many nieces and nephews, as well as great nieces and nephews and many close friends. Her parents, Francis and Nellie Cooley of Berlin, formerly of Dalton, MA, predeceased Dorothy. Dorothy lived for her family, loved her church and cherished her friends. She spent quite sometime in Boston, MA as well as living in Kensington. Boston always being her second home. It was here she volunteered for over five years with Aids Action. Dorothy taught Aids Education as well as counseled those who grew close to her heart that were living with the HIV/AIDS Virus. To celebrate her life, a memorial service will be held Saturday, April 13, 1 p.m., at the First Church of Christ Congregational, 830 Corbin Ave., New Britain. In lieu of flowers, Dorothy has requested that a memorial donation in her name be made to either First Church of Christ, New Britain, the American Cancer Association, or AIDS Action or Research.

The back row from left to right are:
John Jepson, May Adams, Alvin Jepson, Minnie L. Metcalf (housekeeper for Ruth & Charles Sr.), Nina Roberts
The front row from left to right:
Joan Deming, Ruth Jepson, Cathy Deming, Charles Deming Jr, Eunice Cooley, one of John Jepson’s daughters – name unknown, Dorothy Cooley
Minnie L Metcalf was Nina Robert’s domestic. When the elder Demings (Nina & Vernon) moved in with the younger Demings (Charles Sr. & Ruth), Minnie came along. It is apparent that Minnie was more of a companion than an employee. She is buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Douglas, MA with the rest of the family.
When Charles Deming Jr. married Eunice Cooley and Cathy Deming was born, there were 4 generations under one roof.
