Lottie E. Cole

On October 23, 2014, Lottie Cole went to rejoin her husband of over 50 years, Elijah Cole and her youngest son, Larry “Dan” Cole, in Heaven. She was born on June 8, 1925 in Rockcastle County, KY to the late Rollie and Martha (Durham) Mullins. Also preceding her in death are four siblings, all in Kentucky.

Lottie came to Ohio during WWII to work at a defense factory. In 1954 she began working at Nabisco, where she worked with her sister Bernice until retiring in 1979 after 25 years of service. She then began having garage sales in an effort to help clothe families. Lottie would sew, patch and fix clothing to sell to families, clothing some children from birth through high school. She has remained a longtime member of The Word of God Church in Moraine.
