Mable Tetrick

October 26, 1931 — November 18, 2021

Mable Tetrick was born October 26, 1931, on the family farm, daughter of Rass and Carrie (Long) Coffman. She passed from this life on November 18, 2021, at her home following several months of declining health. She was 90 years and 23 days of age.

Mable was the oldest of 13 children. She attended Morning Sun School and graduated with the Class of 1949 from Mountain Grove High School.

On July 12, 1952, she married Harry Tetrick in Mountain Home, Arkansas, after his return from Korea. The newlywed couple settled in Iowa for the next 17 years. One daughter was born to this union.

They longed to return to the Ozarks and purchased a farm in the Owens neighborhood and moved back “home” in 1969. In 1980, Harry was injured in a farming accident, and Mable lovingly cared for him in their home for the next 18 years. In 1989, they left the farm and moved to Mountain Grove.

Mable enjoyed gardening, fishing, traveling, and going to casinos. She loved to dance, call square dances, and hear a good fiddle tune. She enjoyed going to the Senior Center and stayed active as long as her health allowed.

She enjoyed time spent with her grandson and his wife, great-grandchildren, family and friends.

Mable was preceded in death by her husband, Harry (1997), son-in-law, Doug Carroll (2007), her parents Rass and Carrie (Long) Coffman, infant sister, Ruby, brothers, Dean, Gean, Farris, Francis, Harold, and Darold Coffman, brothers-in-law, Hattress, Haskell, Hazel, Narvil, and Kimon Tetrick, father-in-law and mother-in-law, Lewis and Valley Tetrick.

Mable is survived by her daughter, Shirley Carroll of Mountain Grove, Missouri, grandson, Jason Carroll and wife, Chelsea, great-grandchildren, Preston and Kennedy Carroll of West Plains, Missouri, brother, Larry “Buck” Coffman (Sharon) of Hartville, Missouri, sisters, Dottie Perryman, of Raymondville, Missouri, Donna Carlson (Sam) of Brooksville, Florida, Patsy Hamilton of Mountain Grove, Missouri, Darlene Bradshaw (Glen) of Norwood, Missouri, sister-in-laws, Deborah Croney of Seymour, Missouri, and Ima Griggs of Marshfield, Missouri, brothers-in-law, Hase (Glendoris) of Brixey, Missouri, Windle (Katie) of Trail, Missouri, Ferd (Nita) of Dora, Missouri, and Dwight (June) of West Plains, Missouri, numerous nieces, nephews, and other family and friends.

So thankful and blessed to have had you in our lives.
