Denise Beverly Coleman

Denise Beverly Coleman was born on November 18, 1952 to Ella E. Lowman, and Glen C. Lowman whom preceded her in death. Denise passed away suddenly on July 14, 2016 after lengthy illnesses. Denise graduated from Edmondson Senior High School In 1970. She loved school and very rarely missed a day. Denise met Patrick C. Coleman Sr. in 1969. There were two brothers and Denise sister met the other brother Xavier Coleman, the same year. The four of them were inseparable like two sets of twins. Denise and Patrick were married in May 1987 and from that union they had one son, Patrick C. Coleman Jr. Denise adored her husband, and son. Denise worked for a parking lot downtown for many years as a cashier, and later for Social Security in Woodlawn as a mail room clerk until her illness caused her to retire. She was good at both jobs. She never missed time and had many friends there. Denise attended a neighborhood church, and sang on the choir for many years. She also helped at the daycare at that same church. Denise later had bible studies with her sister of the Jehovah's Witness faith. She enjoyed learning more from the bible. Dee-Dee as we called her, enjoyed watching the Ravens games with her husband and son, and loved her snacks while watching. She also loved Dancing With The Stars so much she would call her sister to remind her to watch also. Her habit was to call her sisters when special shows came on so that they would not miss them. We all loved her reminders, and will miss getting her calls. Denise loved to call her brother-in-law JC to poke fun and tease him about looking like Marvin Gaye. Denise (Dee-Dee) and her sister Glenda (Cry) were very close. She named her "Cry" when she was a baby, because she cried a lot. She used to try to carry her even though they were only a year apart. She was so strong that she never dropped her. Denise was also very close to her mother whom she missed dearly. Dee-Dee loved to cook and watch the cooking channels. Denise will be greatly missed. She leaves to mourn: her husband, Patrick C. Coleman, Sr; son, Patrick C. Coleman Jr.; five sisters, Patricia Williams Ragin, Colynn Harland, Glenda Coleman, Cleotis Lee, Tabra Anderson; one brother, Douglas Pace; brothers-inlaw, James Harland, Walter Anderson Sr., Steve Williams and Martin Coleman; two sisters-in-law, Theresa Coleman, and Veronica Coleman; a host of nephews and nieces, Chucky, Snip, Michael, Daryl, Keith, Thomas, Curtis, Brandon, Mia, Charmeka, Meka, Dahlia, Colynn Jr. Nataya and Natasha; many great-nieces and -nephews, including Navaye, whom she was very close to. We will all miss you Dee-Dee and your funny laugh that made us laugh even more. We will see you again soon in paradise!
