OBITUARY:
Isadore “Doe” Cohen passed away on November 17, 2025, at the age of 89. Doe was born in Atlanta on March 25, 1936 to Harold and Annie Cohen. He had two older brothers who predeceased him, Gilbert and Aaron. Doe graduated from Grady High School and was a member of the 1953 AA state champion football team, which was coached by Erk Russell, whom Doe admired and respected throughout his live.

Doe worked as a sales representative at Alterman Food for 16 years, and then started his own successful business, Cohen Food Service, in 1972.

Doe was a man of great integrity, whose word was his bond. He changed the outcome of many lives by giving his gift of wisdom and time. He was a lamplighter for those he mentored.

Doe will be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and true friend to so many.

Doe is survived by his wife of 34 years, Susan, his children Rodney (Terri) and Lori from his previous marriage to Patricia Cohen, and his granddaughters, Allison, Erin, and Sara. Doe’s daughter, Brenda, passed away in 2010, as did a child at birth, Bruce. He is also survived by his stepchildren, Greg Alterman and Scott (Leslie) Alterman, and step-grandchildren, Quentin, Gabe, Rhys, Oscar, Dylan, Leta, and Milena.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to the MD Anderson Cancer Center, the Mayo Clinic, the Emory Winship Cancer Institute, or the charity of your choice.
