Anna Coulter
Anna Newland Coulter, 82, beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, died in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on July 31, 2021, with loved ones by her side.
Anna was born to William C. and Helen Newland II in Raleigh, NC in January 1939. The family moved to Charlotte in 1940.
Anna worked at Duke Power Company for 27 years. She met her husband of 33 years, the late Joe Coulter at Duke. Anna and Joe's door was always open to anyone who needed a friend, a meal, or a place to recuperate. Anna's favorite pastime was baking her famous cakes, cookies and pies. She also loved feeding her "critters" who recognized her voice and would eat out of her hand.
Anna became Nana after her precious grandchildren joined the family. She scratched backs, told the best stories, and sang them to sleep, making memories for a lifetime. She loved Christmas so much that she left her mantle decorated all year. There were always too many presents to fit under the tree, or in the room.
When Nana and her sister needed help, they moved to Lookout Mountain, near Jan and her husband, Kym. Today Anna is singing praises to Jesus who gave Himself for her. We will miss her every day until we, too, see His face.
Anna was preceded in death by her parents, brothers Bill and Lawrence, sister Lib, and husband, Joe.
Survivors include her daughter, Jan Ellis (Kym) Weaver; granddaughters, Courtney (Austin) Jett, Anna (Stephen) Swanson, Lindsay (Colin) Stayton; great-grandchildren, Georgia, Clara, Charlotte, Lula, Oliver, Gideon and Julian; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Family will receive visitors at 10 a.m. followed by a memorial service at 11 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 16, at Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church, Lookout Mountain, Tn.
