A lifelong Forsyth County resident, Betty was the daughter of the late Claudia Newman and Nicholas “Nick” Rudolpholis Petroff. She was married to the late Joe Bill Coe. In addition to her parents, she also was preceded in death by the father of her son, Darcy David Slate, Sr., her son, Darcy David Slate, Jr., her sisters, Evelyn Petroff Motsinger Knight and Marjorie Petroff Beeson, and her brother, Harold Petroff.

The family will visit with friends from 2:30PM until 3:15PM Friday afternoon at the Pierce-Jefferson Funeral Home.

A very special “thank you” goes out to the entire staff of Piney Grove Nursing & Rehabilitation for the love and comfort given to Betty throughout her stay with them.

Betty was such a kind and giving person and always thought of others, so in honor of her contributions to various charities through the years, the family asks that memorials be made to the Kernersville Shepherd’s Center.
