Debi A. Coleman

My deepest condolences to the Coleman family. I first met Debi at Apple, Inc in 1990. I worked in her office for two years and learned so much during that short time. She was an inspiration and a friend.

So sorry for your loss. I would run into Debi over the years. Mostly in Airports, just time enough for a fast chat. She was thoughtful , we still have the Vase she gave us when we bought our 1st home in 1975. R.I.P. Debi...class of 1970

Dear Joan and all the Coleman Family
Sending my sincere condolences and prayers to you all upon the loss of Debi.
I remember Debi as a young teen ager before I moved to California. Her Aunt Ann and I were best friends. i knew the Colemans well.
Debbie was always friendly with much energy. She showed so much potential even as a young girl. The life she went on to live, the academic achievements and outstanding careers were truly amazing. It is so nice to read and see that she never lost sight of her roots and her family. May she rest in peace and may you all in time find peace in all the memories she left you.

Joan and family, My brother Steve read and told me about Debi’s passing. Sorry to hear this sad news. She certainly accomplished a lot in her life. May she Rest In Peace. Love to you all from the Majkut family from Mowry Avenue

Dear Family,
Dusan and I want to extend our deepest sympathy on the passing of Debi Coleman. Dusan and I attended Brown University with Debi. I transferred to Brown as a sophomore, and remember vividly how Debi stopped by my dorm room to check up on my roommate whom Debi had known in her freshman year. I had never before met anyone so smart and with so much energy and who was engaged in so many activities and seemed to have an endless curiosity and knowledge about so many things. I still remember the feeling I had when she left the room.... this lady is going places that most of us can only dream about!! During my Junior year, Debi's Senior Year, we roomed together with two other women in the new apartment buildings at Brown. Debi came to New York and met my family and we met Debi's family including a trip to the race track with Debi and her father. After Brown I remember visiting Debi in Palo Alto where she gave me a tour of Stanford and there was a water shortage in Palo Alto, something I had never experienced.. Later on, Debi was instrumental in helping Dusan with a business transaction with Apple. Over the years we unfortunately lost touch but we often thought about Debi and read about all her accomplishments and always remember her hearty laugh and indomitable spirit. Debi was always honest and forthright and never hesitated to tell you the truth. Knowing Debi was being touched by greatness.
With much love and sympathy,
Marianne Michael Culich and Dusan Culich class of 1975

My parents, Phil and Pat, often spoke of the Coleman’s as a role model family. Debi’s academic achievements and deep care for her family, especially her brother John, we’re shared as well as the times she made bold decisions to prioritize her family and health over career. Condolences to the family for the loss of a wonderful woman. She impacted many.

Sending my deepest condolences to you all. What a beautiful tribute. With much love, Kathy

When I think of our cousin Debi, the first thing is SMART. The second and my favorite is she is outrageously funny and has a laugh you can hear across a crowded room. But most of all, I admire how Debi made time for those she loved and enjoyed those simple times as much as we did. God speed, Debi, you will be missed but remembered with a big hearty laugh. Always.

Dear Joan, we send our deepest condolences to you and your family. We were terribly saddened to read of the loss of your incredible daughter Debi. Love, Elena & Ernie

I am sorry to read this sad news. I met Debi when I joined the Applied Materials board. When we realized we had both grown up in RI we formed a quick and lasting friendship. A kind and thoughtful person. Smart too. I know she will be missed by many. My prayers to her family.

I am stunned to hear of Debi's passing. Her memorial video was so beautiful and a great tribute to her. It showed how she loved her family and how they loved her. My wife and I send our heartfelt condolences to Danny, Linda, Alyssa, Kevin and the whole Coleman family. I was a CHS 1970 classmate of Debi. She was at the top of our class and never took no for an answer. She continued with that spirit of "I can do" by having made so many accomplishments in her life. She is in heaven and is an angel. God bless her and the Coleman family.

I knew Debi not just as the successful business woman she was, but also as a much loved, admired and treasured cousin. Making memories together with our large family continued until her last days. She will live on in our hearts and memories forever as somebody who loved being with us and was always humble and generous in spite of her celebrity.. . We will miss her humor , kindness and sincerity. To her mother, siblings, nephews and nieces we extend our deepest sympathies for your loss.

Colleen, Terry and I send you our sincerest sympathy. You are such a caring dedicated sister. Even though we did not know Debi, we learned how accomplished and dedicated she was to her family and profession through this beautiful video of photos. May she rest in peace.

I'm stunned by this devastating news. The world has lost a wonderful woman. My sincerest sympathy to all the Colemans.
