Mary Ann (Linder) Coulter Obituary

Mary Ann (Linder) Coulter, 97, of Evansville, Indiana, formerly of Linton, Indiana, passed away Sunday, November 22, 2020 at home. Mary Ann was born in Iowa City, Iowa on May 7, 1923 to Leo and Frances (Roushar) Linder. She distinguished herself as a young teenager in Pella, Iowa by teaching herself to tap dance and gave tap dance lessons to children for a nickel each. Mary Ann moved to Washington, Missouri as a teen and graduated from Washington High School. She married Forrest Coulter on April 14, 1944. For many years, Forrest and Mary Ann owned and operated Coulter’s store in Linton, Indiana, first specializing in fabrics and sewing supplies, later selling ladies’ clothing, and finally reinventing the store as a mini-mall for consignment vendors. They also operated stores in Altamont, Illinois, Bedford, Indiana and Terre Haute, Indiana. Mary Ann had a beautiful smile which she offered generously to family, friends and strangers, and had the gift of raising the spirits of everyone around her. Her zest for life was infectious and was often displayed as she danced around her store making her customers laugh. Forrest passed away in 1999. Mary Ann is survived by two daughters, Forresta (Bob) Bowersock of Linton, IN and Claudia Coulter of Evansville, IN; a son, Timothy (Julia) Coulter of Evansville, IN; five grandchildren, Tracy (William) Hamilton of Linton, Todd White of Cincinnati, OH, Anthony (Tammy) White of Linton, Samuel (Julia) Coulter of Evansville, and Alexander (fiancée Alexis Walser) Coulter of Evansville; two great grandchildren, Stephen (fiancé Anthony Weaver) Cooksey of Drexel Hill, PA, Nicole (Zachery) Alexander of Linton; two great great grandchildren Bria and Hendrix Alexander of Linton; and several nieces and nephews. Mary Ann was preceded in death by her parents, her husband and a brother Charles Linder, of Denison, TX. Due to COVID-19 considerations, no visitation will be held at this time. A private interment will take place in Washington, MO at a later date at the Presbyterian Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made in Mary Ann's memory to Greene County Humane Society at 1026 N 1375W Linton, IN 47441. Condolences may be made online at www.browningfuneral.com.
