William Eric “Bill” Coulter, 63 of Newton, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, May 30,
2024, at his residence.
Bill was born April 13, 1961, in Catawba County to the late Bobby Lee Coulter and Sarah
Deaton Coulter. He attended the First Baptist Church Icard. He spent his time enjoying the
outdoors, farming and tending to his vegetable gardens. He was passionate about history
and enjoyed researching his family’s genealogy.
Bill owned and operated a furniture manufacturing business called, “Country at Home.”
Where he was able to design and make quality furniture. He later dissolved the business to
devote more time to his passion of farming.
A life measured not in years but in love and cherished memories. Bill was a loving, caring
and kind husband and brother. He meant the world to his family. His strength was in his
quiet and gentle manner. His life was a testament to the power of love for family. The
memories he created will live on and be a source of comfort and inspiration to all who
knew and loved him. He will be deeply missed.

Biggerstaff; great nephew, Landon McCarter of the home; great nieces, Autumn McCarter

So sorry for your loss he was a good man , husband . I know you will miss him dearly. We had a lot of good times together in the mountains. Our prayers are with you and your family ❤️🙏🙏
Bill was my friend and pal
He was a kind and loving person.
Our families had alot of great times together going to the mountains and
Just going out to eat. I will miss my Pal very much and his kind heart. Everytime
I read Ephesians 4:32 I will remember my friends life he lived. Thanks Lord for
letting me know such a great man
Such a good person gone way too early. Maybe God needs help with his garden. He did not have a selfish inch in his body. He would give everything he had to anyone that needed help. This much the reason he and Dolores got along so well because she was the same. Our prayers are with Dolores and all of the other family members. His legacy shall live on!!!!
To the family of Bill as we knew him. He was truly an awesome neighbor to us. Always enjoyed his produce from his garden that he would bring us . Will miss seeing the truck going down the road to the barn everyday. Our prayers are with you all.
Dolores, I was so sorry to hear this news about Bill. My prayers are with you and all of your family.
Bill meant a lot to Richard and I. When Richard got sick Bill came often to sit with him and talk. They would sit on the front porch and talk about farming and gardening. During the years that Richard was unable to garden, Bill would bring fresh produce from his garden. His time spent on our front porch are precious memories that will not be forgotten. . We will miss him dearly.
We continue to lift you and the girls up in prayer.
