Birth date: Jul 28, 1932 Death date: Jun 17, 2017
Anne Coachman Epling, 84, of Clearwater passed away June 17, 2017. Anne was preceded in death by her husband Karl David Epling and her brother Sammy Coachman. She is survived by her four children, Karl David Epling Jr., of Lexingt Read Obituary
My condolences to the Epling Family. Anne gave of her time and energies to many organizations. Proverbs 22:29 says, "Have you seen a man skillful at his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before common men." She set a marvelous example for others.
One of my first memories of sweet Anne was sitting on the porch of one of the houses at Heritage Village.... donned in a full skirt in the Florida heat! This lady taught me about the dear love that long time residents have for the "real" Clearwater. She was so proud of where she came from and loved this city because of the people that called it home. Well done good and faithful servant! You were a blessing to those that called you a friend!
Always a welcoming smile at church. Peace to all who knew her.
I am a board member for Pinellas Pioneers and wish to express gratitude to Ann for her service on that board. I am very sorry I couldn't know her even better but she was a lovely person every time we met! With a warm smile and obviously a giving spirit. May good memories sustain her family and friends.
Sincerely,
Terry Fortner
While I only knew Anne through her good works as a volunteer for the Pinellas County Historical Society, I would be interested in learning more about her work as a librarian and expanding existing writings related to Coachman family history (and the great impact the family has had on Clearwater/Pinellas history).
My condolences,
Tom

Anne, I have fond memories of 75 years of friendship; memories of Junior High School, and Senior High School, and Y-Teens, and Peace Memorial Church, and more recently, our "Girls of '50" monthly luncheons. I will miss your quiet wisdom and sense of humor. We all will.
Fantastic video of your beautiful Mom! She served Kenny and me countless lunches of grilled cheese and Chicken & Stars!!! She always made me feel at home around your home. Thanks for sharing. You are all in my prayers. Love to the Eplings!
