Douglas Coe - The Coe Family

The Coe Family

Doug Coe is a descendant of early colonist Robert Coe (1596–1689). Coe, the son of Milton Evans and Loda Helene (Davis) Coe, was born October 20, 1928, in Medford, Oregon. His father, a public-school teacher, and mother were married December 26, 1923, at Yamhill, Oregon. His paternal grandfather, Rev. Curtis Pearre Coe, was a Baptist minister and missionary.

When he is not traveling, Coe resides in Arlington, Virginia, with his wife, Janice, in a home located on the grounds of the former Doubleday Mansion, renamed the Cedars. Doug and Janice Coe are the parents of six children, including David Mark Evans Coe of Annapolis, Maryland; Timothy Stewart Coe of Arnold, Maryland; Jonathan Coe of Washington, D.C. (died 1985), and Pamela Kay Corder of Leesburg, Virginia. They have 21 grandchildren. David, Tim, and Paula are all employed by the Fellowship Foundation and/or Wilberforce Foundation, Inc., and have worked alongside of their father since their college graduations.
