Margaret Cohoe

Obituary Margaret passed away peacefully on May 1, 2007 at age 72. She bravely and with a positive attitude battled Multiple Sclerosis for over forty-four years. When diagnosed, she made a conscious decision to lead an absolutely normal family life. She did just that, raising four sons, supporting her husband's career, volunteering in several capacities at both Church and school, playing slowpitch softball, and performing in little theatre. She was preceded in death by her parents, Burton and Leona Hall and her brother Richard T. Hall. She is survived by her loving husband of 47 years Judge Bruce Cohoe, her sons Kelly B. (Sara) Cohoe, Christopher B. Cohoe, Brian P. (Marci) Cohoe and K. C. (Keelia) Cohoe, ten grandchildren, Jessica, Katrina, Philip, Kaylie, Michael, Larissa, David, Caleb, Blake and Dylan. She is also survived by her brother Ramon E. (Ann) Hall of Evergreen, Colorado and numerous nieces and nephews. Margaret graduated from Seattle University, but devoted her life to being a wife and mother. The lessons she gave and the example she was, both made her a superstar in her chosen path. She also found time to start a program for the gifted at Geiger Elementary School, for which she was awarded the prestigious Golden Acorn award by the Tacoma School District. Margaret's life made a positive impact to all who knew her well, and even those who didn't know her well, knew they had met a special person. She will be missed.
