Luda Coffman was born September 10, 1935, in Grant, Oklahoma, the daughter of L.C. and Dorothy (Nelson) Flanagan. She married Jack Coffman on September 26, 1955, in Perry, Georgia. They retired from the Air Force in Altus, OK, where Randy graduated High school and enrolled in the University of Oklahoma in the early 1970's. Jack and Luda moved to Chicota, TX where they owned and operated the Texaco Service Station. In 1974 they became house parents at Goodland Children's Home. Luda worked in the field of dentistry before opening the Cabbage Patch Day Care. Luda was founder and co-owner of the Cabbage Patch Day Care in Hugo where she was involved until an auto accident in Dec. 2004, in which she never fully recovered. She and Thomas enjoyed farming and ranching as well as fishing at Lake Texoma. Luda was a loving and wonderful mother, daughter, sister, and grandmother. She was the most giving and caring person you would ever meet, always doing for others before herself.
