Carita Rose Coen

Carita Rose Coen, 71, passed away on October 12, 2026. Born on September 14, 1955, in Naples Italy, Carita later grew up on James Island SC, carrying forward a steady strength and bright spirit that would shape the way she loved, worked, and cared for others.

Those who knew Carita will remember a woman who gave of herself freely—showing up, pitching in, and doing what needed to be done with a tireless devotion that made life better for the people around her. Her care was constant and sincere, and even in the busiest or hardest moments, she had a way of bringing lightness through her humor—offering a laugh, a quick wit, or a perfectly timed remark that reminded everyone not to lose heart.

Carita was previously married and was deeply proud of her family: her son Everett, her daughter, her granddaughter Dahlia, and her grandson Maxwell. Above all, she will be remembered as an amazing mother and grandmother—someone whose love was practical and generous, expressed through everyday acts of service, steady encouragement, and a heart that always made room for one more need, one more worry, one more hug.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
