Couple celebrates 70 years
Dorothy Sherwood Coye and Dana Coye of Skaneateles, NY, are celebrating 70 years of a happy and loving marriage, on August 31, 2016. They are among a tiny percentage of Americans to reach that landmark. Even for the World War II generation-which in high numbers tended to wed young and remain married through many decades-reaching the 70th anniversary is remarkable.
The couple have two children. Connie (John) Bouck of Auburn, NY and Jim (Judy) Coye of Skaneateles, NY. They have 2 grandchildren, Jenny Coye of Albany, NY and Ryan Coye of Skaneateles, NY. They also have 3 step-grandchildren and 8 step great-grandchildren.
The Coye’s, after meeting and living in Jamesville, NY for many years, moved to Skaneateles in 1961. They owned and operated The Skaneateles Bakery until they retired in 1989. They now spend much of their winter in Naples, FL. Both Dot and Dana are very active in their church and enjoy traveling, gardening and being with their family and friends.
