Stephanie Gail Cole, 57, of Bridge City, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, June 9, 2012. God needed another angel and He took her into His heavenly arms.

"Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates." Proverbs 31: 30-31

Funeral services will be 10am Wednesday, June 13, 2012, at First Baptist Church in Bridge City. Officiating will be Reverend Bob Boone of First Baptist Church in Bridge City and Reverend Charlie Miller. Burial will follow at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens in Orange.

They were together for 42 years. Stephanie was a retired court coordinator with Orange County Court at Law under Judge Michael Shuff. She was an active member at the First Baptist Church in Bridge City and was devoted to her Lord and Savior. She was the core of her family who she loved very much; especially her grandsons. Stephanie never met a stranger and was loved by everyone she met. She loved to walk everyday with her friends around the courthouse area at noon.

She was preceded in death by her father, James "Jimmy" Singletary and all of her grandparents.

Stephanie is survived by her husband of 40 years, Danny Cole; mother, JoAnn Erwin and husband Buddy of Orange; mother-in-law, Louise Wood; daughter, Tiffanie Woods and husband David of Orange; son, Dusty Cole and wife Andrea of Bridge City; grandchildren, Bryce Rambo and Falcon Cole; step grandchildren, Anthony and Austin Woods; sisters, Liz Morris and husband Carlo of Orange, Jan Manley and husband Robert of Orange; sisters-in-law, Linda Watz and husband James of Orange, Martha Cole of Bridge City; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Its so hard to believe that Stephanie is no longer here. She was always so caring and took the time to visit with me at work. She had so much pride in her family, but always stayed so humble.
