Dorothy Virginia Coffey's Obituary
Dorothy Virginia Coffey of Leesburg, Virginia passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Wednesday, February 26, 2025.
Born Monday, July 5, 1937, in Elkton, Maryland, she was the daughter of the late Omar Husfelt and the late Mildred Merchant Husfelt.
She was the loving and devoted wife of 28 years to the late Dillard Coffey Jr. They met and married in Elkton and relocated to Leesburg in 1958 for the construction of Dulles Airport. She was a homemaker and remained a resident of Leesburg for 67 years.
Dorothy was predeceased by her brother Norman Husfelt and sisters Pearl Bailey, Sarah Durney, Sandra Husfelt and Sue Short.
Dorothy leaves many to cherish her memory including one brother, Charles Dowd; her four children, Dillard E. Coffey III (Linda), Carol Frye (Ray), Linda Timbers (Alton), and Patricia Boehret (Chris); seven grandchildren, Alton Timbers Jr. (Jessica), Jessica Fackler (Caleb), Melissa Coffey, Derrick Coffey (Meghan), Ashley Holcomb (Matthew), Ryan Boehret (Katie), and Jennifer Guzman (Geo); and six great grandchildren, Ryleigh Timbers, Harper Timbers, Greyson Fackler, Julian Guzman, Olivia Guzman, and Trevor Holcomb.
Dorothy (Mom) was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her. She was the heart and home of our family and devoted her entire life to her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. With a heart full of love, she was a constant presence to her family, never missing a milestone no matter how big or small, as if she possessed the remarkable ability to be in two places at once. She was and still is known as Mom to the many kids that she helped raise and the other kids that just came by. There was always room for one more.
Her passing has left a void in the hearts of her family, friends, and many more whose lives were touched by her over the years. Through her loving kindness, deep compassion, and unwavering faith in God, she created a legacy that will continue to inspire us all.
The family will receive friends from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM on Tuesday, March 4, 2025 at Loudoun Funeral Chapel, 158 Catoctin Cr. SE, Leesburg, Virginia. A funeral service will follow at 12:00 PM with Pastor Doug Wall officiating. Interment will be in Leesburg Union Cemetery, Leesburg, VA.
