Ruby Coleman Obituary
Ruby Lee Coleman of Woodford, VA, went home to be with the Lord on Friday, November 15, 2024, at the age of 80, after a long battle with cancer. She was born on September 12, 1944, and lived a life full of love, laughter, and joy.
Ruby was married to her beloved husband, Elton Coleman for 65 wonderful years, and together they raised five amazing children: Terry Coleman Van Hagen, Connie Coleman Frum (Donnie), Mark Coleman (Amanda), Wayne Coleman, and her youngest son, Troy A. Coleman, who has preceded her in death. Ruby had an abundance of wonderful nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, all of whom brought so much happiness and joy to her life.
She was known for her love of family, holidays spent together, and all her many animals, including her horses and dogs. She had an infectious laugh and a very strong will. Ruby touched the hearts of everyone she met. She had a talent for leaving a mark and making her presence known and will be missed by all who knew her.
Her memory will continue to bring warmth and comfort to those who were lucky enough to know her. Ruby Coleman will be dearly missed, but her fiery spirit will live on in the hearts of her family and friends forever.
A service will be held at 1 p.m., on Saturday, November 23, 2024, at Bethany Baptist Church. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at the church. Interment will follow in Bethany Baptist Church Cemetery.
Memorial Donations can be made to the Fredericksburg, VA SPCA in honor of Ruby's love of animals.
