Martha Juanita Phillips Coleman

Martha Juanita Phillips Coleman left her home surrounded by a loving family and ran into the arms of the Love of her life on December 18, 2023, ending their 10 years and 2 months apart.

She was born October 18, 1934, to W.L and Mary Pearl Phillips in Red Lick, Mississippi.

She was a loving wife, daughter, mother, Nonne/Mamaw and sister. She touched many using her creative gifts of sewing, crocheting, and quilting beautiful pieces that she shared throughout her life.
Those left behind to share her stories and cherish her memories are her children, Deborah Noel (John), John Coleman Jr., and Theresa Coleman (Patrick), her grandchildren Wes (Amy), Sarah (Tim), Alex and Caitlin. Great granddaughter Maddie and two adorable fuzzy butts, Luna Bella and Hoss Boss.

A private memorial service will be held at a later date. Special thanks to Hospice Ministries especially Jenna and Angie. Big Love and Huge Thanks to Gayla and Estella for the love and care, as well as the laughter and joy they brought to mother.

    Knew her for a long time. I knew her thru my brother Robert Sullivan he introduced her and her husband. I did not know how to stay in touch with her and did not know of her death. So very sorry. She and her family were wonderful people. Really made an impression on me when I was growing up..Again I am so sorry
