Annie Coco
Annie Parigi Coco, 93, of Sour Lake, died Saturday, February 16, 2019. Annie was the eighth of ten children born to Joseph and Concetta Parigi. She was a graduate of Beaumont High School where she met her future husband, Charlie Coco, in French class. While he operated a series of service stations in Beaumont, she was busy rearing their four children. Annie was first and foremost a woman of deep faith, having been a devout parishioner first at St. Joseph’s, then St. Pius X and lastly at Our Lady of Victory in Sour Lake.
While there, Miss Annie, as she came to be known to her many friends contributed to the restoration of the beautiful Stations of the Cross in the church. She also passed on her family’s traditional St. Joseph’s Day altar celebrations in honor of her father. Her altars were beautiful, enjoyed by so many and evidence of her lifetime commitment to her faith.
Annie adored her grandchildren and delighted in the joy that great grandchildren brought to her life. She loved to garden and to cook. It was through cooking and sharing her “all things delicious” that she expressed her love, caring and concern for so many.
She loved the Dallas Cowboys, fresh yard eggs, anything that bloomed and a really clean house. She didn’t know a stranger. She dearly loved her sisters and brothers and adored her many nieces and nephews, their Aunt Annie. She will always remain a permanent tenant in our hearts.
Annie is survived by her four children: Margaret Mignery (David) of Austin, TX; Concetta Beck (Link) of El Paso, TX; Charlie Coco (Johnette) of Sour Lake, TX; and Anne Coco (Paul Natzke) of Los Angeles, CA; eight grandchildren; and ten great-grandchildren.
A Rosary for Mrs. Coco will be recited at 6:00 p.m., with a gathering of her family and friends to follow until 8:00 p.m., Friday, February 22, 2019, at Broussard’s, 1605 North Major Drive, Beaumont. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 1:00 p.m., Saturday, February 23, 2019, at Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church, 225 West Barkley, Sour Lake, with interment to follow at Rosedale Cemetery, Sour Lake. Pallbearers for the service are: Henry Fertitta, Frank Rinando, Tony Marino, Chris Coco, Jim Marino, Joe S. Parigi and honorary pallbearers Larry Fontana, Jon Drago and Sam Drago.
The family would most sincerely like to acknowledge and thank the loving care given to Annie by Alice Cooper and Barbara Roquemore. We are eternally grateful for their kind and loving care.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church, P.O. Box 1359, Sour Lake, Texas 77659.

Charlie, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the Coco family. I remember how you always spoke so lovingly and respectful of your mother. Knowing she loved the Lord brings joy with the knowledge she has a new body and is in the presence of Jesus Christ. What a celebration it must be! Sincerely, Jeff Liddell

Truly an angel she was, she will be missed by all. She never met a stranger.. She was very dedicated to her faith... As she would drive Down 105, she would be clinching her rosary beads and praying. I will continue making some of her DELICIOUS recipes. RIP ANGEL, your work on earth is done, I LOVE YOU

I first met Miss Annie when my siblings and I moved my mother and aunt to a town home in Beaumont. One of their new neighbors was Miss Annie. She and my aunt and Mom became quick friends. Annie often dropped in on the way to the mailbox. Over years she became like one of the family, enjoying lunches and birthdays. She was a delight and made my mom and aunt's last years a nicer time for having been neighbors.. To all her family, I send my condolences. She will surely be missed.
