Not sure what to say?

Nellie helped me make it through! She told me one day-beach less, study more - I will miss her.

Every group of students who attended her classes adopted her as their own. She directed our plays and helped us attend competitions. We may have taken her a little for granted then, but as we went on with life, we kept recognizing how much the things she taught us helped us to succeed. I hope there is someone like her for future generations of students.

Mrs. Coleman was my speech teacher in 1962. She was a skilled and demanding teacher. One requirement was to always prepare a sentence outline for every speech or.paper. Complaints rained down from the students but she did not compromise. To this day the organizational skill she forced us to practice has been a great boon. I am continuously reminded of her gift. Rest in peace to a teacher in the truest sense of the word.

She was a wounderful person and had an impact on each student who attended

She was a wounderful teacher and will always be remember by all who attended Seminole High School.

The reunions will not be the same without you.

I knew her as Aunt Nan and Uncle Boyd and we always celebrated birthdays and holidays. I also had her as a Latin teacher and took Latin at her FSU. My family will miss them both but they are in a better place God bless.

She was everybody's favorite teacher. Jack Moye, Class of 1947.

Mrs. Coleman may you rest in peace; what a great teacher; Latin and Speech, all three high school years, class of '65

She was a talented and respected lady. She was my drama and speech teacher. She taught me many life lessons that I still carry with me today. She will be missed.
