Coletta and Clara were very proud to be identical twin sisters and to have both lived to be over 100 years old. She received her education in the Bellevue schools.

The couple owned and operated Benny's Tap in Epworth, Iowa. Coletta was a loving and devoted mother, grandmother, great and great-great grandmother. She had a way of spoiling all her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and making them feel special and was the glue that held the family together all these years. She was a very selfless and giving person who would help anyone in need that crossed her path. She was a great chef and gardener and used her skills and plentiful harvest to feed her family and people in need from the time of the depression up until she was 98 years young. She had a great love for music and enjoyed playing the Piano and did so since she was a young girl.
