Coral was a creative and inspirational woman who always had time for others. She was a loving wife, mother, sister, daughter, and friend who made her home a warm, safe, and inviting place. She made her heart open to all who needed her as she is strong in her Christian faith. She was a highly active member of Hillside Christian Church where she helped with any need.
She retired from Hallmark Cards in the early 2000s after which she spent her time travelling the United States with her one true love, Lewis. She found beauty in all things, tried very hard to see the positive in all situations and had faith in the Lord's plan for her. She really was a lady who spread the meaning and joy of Christmas to others all throughout the year.
She is survived by her son Niles Patterson, of Riverside, Missouri, her daughter Sarah Dannar, of Oak Grove, Missouri, her sister Susan Hubbard, of Kansas City, Missouri, and her brother Steve Schaefer of Kansas City, Missouri.
Coral was preceded in death by her mother Ellen Schaefer, her father Ernest Schaefer, and her husband Lewis Patterson.
