She is faithful in every way and was my first example of a lady preacher. I watched as she grew in faith and saw her preach some of her first sermons. She gave me strong and wise, Godly council many times. It is such a privilege to get to be the first to read her life’s story.Violet Lashley Coffey lives in a plantation style house on 9 acres near Tightwad, which is near Truman Reservoir in Henry County, Missouri – with her son Marc.
