Algie Coleman

COLEMAN, Mr. Algie, after a brief illness, was called to his eternal rest on September 2, 2009. Algie was born on March 10, 1928, to the late Susie G. Williams and Algie Crump, in Richmond, Virginia. He was preceded in death by his two brothers, Willie and David Williams. Algie was educated in the Richmond Public School system. He was employed with Vineman and Hyman and retired after 25 years of faithful service. Algie was a very quiet and lovable spirit. He was definitely not a person of confusion. His most frequent quote was, "I ain't got nothing to do with it!" As one who loved God, he was a kind, proud and family oriented person. He was a very loving father, brother, grandfather and friend. He leaves to cherish his memory his children, Deacon Althea Coleman and Donald Garrett; devoted grandchildren, Paul Coleman, Tashema Pearce, Deonna and Roger Meade, and DeCarol Randolph; 10 great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild; three sisters, Alma Ryan of Providence, R.I., Darlene and Cheryl Crump of New York, N.Y.; and a host of other relatives and friends. Funeral services will take place at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, 4401 Hobbs Lane, Richmond, Virginia, on Thursday, September 10, at 1 p.m. Rev. Andrew J. Jackson Jr. officiating.
