Carolyn (Bunny) Elizabeth Cote

Carolyn (Bunny) Elizabeth Cote, 80, a resident of Cape Coral, FL since 2004, formerly of Coral Gables, FL, passed away July 11, 2022 in Cape Coral, Florida. She was born April 17, 1942 in Trenton, NJ and her family moved to Coral Gables, FL when she was three weeks of age. She was preceded in death by her parents, Everett and Anna Bunting. Bunny was of the Baptist faith. She is survived by her beloved husband of 12 years, Richard Cote of Cape Coral; as well as her son, Neal Cooke of Cape Coral.

Bunny graduated from Coral Gables High School and then went to work for the University Of Miami in Coral Gables at the age of 17. She worked there for 42 years until retiring in 2002. She was the Administration Assistant for two consecutive presidents of the university. She loved the university and was dedicated to her work. Bunny wrapped up her career at the University of Miami in her dream job in the Athletics Department where she got to hob nob with famous coaches and players alike. She would work tirelessly on any project that would further the interest of the university. With her hard work, the university became the first private school in Florida to be given the privileged of having a school license plate. In 1991 Bunny was tapped and initiated into the Iron Arrow Honor Society, the highest honor one can achieve at the university.

Bunny will always be remembered, not by her achievements in her career, but for her sparkling and vivacious personality and her love for her family and all her many friends. She treasured them all. She was especially devoted to her mother and never failed to contact her and comfort her every day even as they both reached the end of their days. Bunny also never failed to keep in touch with friends. Even those from elementary school. She kept every card they sent her and many times would display them when they would visit her. She rejoiced with her friends. She wept with her friends. She had genuine compassion for the happiness or sadness of others and they knew it was real and heart felt. She will be dearly missed by all that knew and loved her.

No formal services are planned at this time.
