Memorial

Beverly “Bev” Helen Coffin, 56, of Cedar Rapids, IA passed away peacefully Sunday, January 25, 2026, at the Oldorf Hospice House after a courageous battle with cancer. Visitation will be held on Saturday, March 21, 2026, from 2:00 – 4:00 PM at the Cedar Memorial Park Funeral Home. A celebration of Bev's life will be held at a later date.

Bev was born on September 9, 1969, in Cedar Rapids, daughter of Alan and Glendora (Dee) Coffin. Bev graduated from Cedar Rapids Washington HS, class of 1987.

She was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta and was unable to walk. This did not define her. Bev’s life was independent and full of many adventures. She loved the Iowa Hawkeyes, MN Vikings, and NASCAR. She enjoyed many concerts, area bands, and traveling with friends and family. But most of all, Bev loved her family and friends that became family.

Bev is survived by her siblings, Brad (Susan) Coffin, and Becky Baker; nieces and nephews, Andrea (Nate) Coffin, Jennifer (Steve) Brink, Brian Coffin, Nick (Kendall) Baker, and Ericka (Max) Ramsey; her beloved great nieces and nephews, Colton, Vivian, Jaidyn, Bentley, Braxton, Jackson, Brayton, Roczen, Emmarie, Meadow and Ryker. Bev also leaves behind her lifelong friends, Diane, Corey and George, who she loved with her whole heart.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Brian and two great nephews, Hlas and Maxton.

The family extends a special thank you to Dr. Stroh, the Hall Perrine Cancer Center, the angels disguised as nurses at the Oldorf Hospice House and Michelle Bell who took in Allie the Cat when Bev could no longer care for her.

A memorial fund in Bev's name has been established.
