Mrs. Estelle Coffey

Mrs. Estelle Reed Coffey has been crowned as the 2020-2021 Woman of the Year by the Union County Branch of the NAACP. This recognition is a result of Mrs. Coffey’s unwavering support of the organization’s efforts to secure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights in order to eliminate race-based discrimination and ensure the health and well-being of all persons. Mrs. Coffey is a native of Union County and is recognized as a pillar within her community because of her passion for pouring into the lives of others and giving back. She is a lifetime member of Piney Grove West Missionary Baptist Church in Waxhaw, a lifetime member of the NAACP, and a member for 62 years of the Extension and Community Association (ECA), a board member of the Crisis Assistance Ministry of Monroe, a member of the Amaranth Chapter #663 Order of the Eastern Star, and a member of Democratic Women. She is the proud mother of five wonderful children, Parthenia, Jonathan, Delice, Maureen, Javonzio, and is the blessed grandmother to eight grandchildren. You may find Mrs. Coffey cheering at a local basketball game or substituting within our local schools as she continues to remain actively involved in our community. Please join us in celebrating Mrs. Coffey and recognizing her many accomplishments and continued support of Union County.

The “Woman of Year” Program is a proud tradition initiated by Medgar Evers, the NAACP’s first field secretary in Mississippi. The program is designed to promote interest in NAACP chapter activities, stimulate competition among branches and serves as a reminder of the 1954 school desegregation decision by the U. S. Supreme Court.

We are extending an invitation for local churches to participate in this event. . We are asking each church to select a woman to represent their church in the “Woman of Year” Program. Each candidate selected will raise money for the NAACP. Your support will enable the Union County Branch NAACP to provide assistance locally and at the state level to assist in ensuring people’s rights are upheld and that they are treated with dignity and respect.
