She was born June 12, 1926 to Henry Butler Varner and Dora Magdaline Keller Varner. She married Ladd Ross Kuhn on July 2, 1945 and resided in Franklin Township the rest of her life.

Coletta served as secretary for her church, Richland Church of the Brethren, her Tops Group in Shelby, and her AARP Chapter. She worked at Dominion, National Ring, Reed's, Lazarus, and McDonalds. She loved her family and told everyone she not only had three good sons, but three good daughters-in-law. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were her greatest joy. She loved having everyone together for Saturday night card games.
