Dr. Teddy Lewis Coe, 82, Professor Emeritus of accounting, died Oct. 5. He earned bachelor's and master’s degrees in accounting at Baylor University and a Ph.D. in accounting from Texas A&M University. He was on the faculty at Texas A&M University and New York University before joining North Texas in 1980. At UNT, he served two terms as chair of the accounting department and won the prestigious President’s Award along with a grant to develop the five-year master’s in accounting program. He also was the first recipient of the Horace Brock Endowed Professorship. After his time as department chair, he went on to lead the Institute of Petroleum Accounting at UNT for 15 years before retiring in 2007. He and his wife, the late Dr. Barbara Coe, a Professor Emerita of business administration who taught marketing at UNT, were members of the Chilton Society, establishing the Ted and Barbara Coe Endowed Opera Scholarship at UNT. Also established in their honor is the Dr. Teddy Coe and Dr. Barbara Coe Endowed Scholarship in Marketing. Ted had a never-ending love for dogs, including dozens of adopted rescue dogs over the years, and a heart for helping people in their time of need. He also loved traveling the world and enjoyed opera at every opportunity. A graveside service is scheduled at 10:30 a.m. Monday, Oct. 21, at Rose Lawn Memorial Park in Denton. Contributions in his memory may be made to the Ted and Barbara Coe Endowed Opera Scholarship fund.
