That&#8217;s why it was so odd and somehow more fascinating that Leslie Ray kept his time with them a secret.<\/p>\n<p>Just down the road from our parsonage, on the way to the creek, was the Cokers&#8217; place, where a humble farmhouse boasted a wide front porch that welcomed a steady flow of neighbors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theagingofaquarius.com\/ag_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/MURFREESBORO-ARKANSAS-1953-LASTENA-COKER-3.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3883 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theagingofaquarius.com\/ag_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/MURFREESBORO-ARKANSAS-1953-LASTENA-COKER-3.jpg?resize=325%2C325\" alt=\"\" width=\"325\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theagingofaquarius.com\/ag_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/MURFREESBORO-ARKANSAS-1953-LASTENA-COKER-3.jpg?w=373&amp;ssl=1 373w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theagingofaquarius.com\/ag_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/MURFREESBORO-ARKANSAS-1953-LASTENA-COKER-3.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theagingofaquarius.com\/ag_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/MURFREESBORO-ARKANSAS-1953-LASTENA-COKER-3.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 325px) 85vw, 325px\" \/><\/a><em><strong>Sister Lastena Coker with our Baby<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Sister Coker was sometimes a little absent-minded but she continued to absorb information even while seemingly in a trying-to-remember state so you didn&#8217;t want to underestimate her, because she could drop a cogent remark into a conversation when you least expected it.\u00a0 You had to let yourself stay relaxed about whichever state you found her in.\u00a0 She was always occupied with the farm and family and church and always offered the world a kind demeanor.\u00a0 She said, about most any problem,<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everything will work itself out directly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She repeatedly misplaced one or another of her favorite butter molds and when Leslie Ray showed up ready to churn, she first dispatched him to help her get everything rounded up again.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Leslie Ray, climb up there and see if you can find that one that&#8217;s shaped like a rose.
