Remembering you on this day! You not taught me piano and music, but valuable life skills that I still cherish today. Continue to Rest in Peace.

I attended Mississippi Valley State University 1970-1975 as a Music Major. Mrs. Rose Coleman and her Husband, Dr. Herbert Coleman were my Mentors in college and were from my hometown, Shreveport, La. They both had a profound influence on my life as my instructors. Mrs. Coleman taught me so much about the teaching profession that helped me in my teaching career, here in Atlanta, Ga. She shared real life experiences which I did actually run into at different schools and was able to handle them professionally. My favorite memory of Mrs. Coleman was when she stepped in for me to chastise the women of the sorority I pledged in 1972. She noticed my fatigue and just nicely told them, Joyce started pledging with you at a 3.58 cumulative average. Why would you cause her grades to diminish if you all required a high average for her to join? She needs her rest to perform in her classes. After she went to bat for me, I no longer was kept in anyone's dorm room after 10:00p.m. at night. I already loved her, but after that! I loved her like a Mother! I would tell my students that I was an extension of Dr. & Mrs. Herbert Coleman. I just heard of her passing from Dr. Coleman, Summer, 2023. I will never forget Mrs. Rose Coleman. With Love, Joyce Davis Culberson.

My sincere condolences to the family, I am belatedly learning about this. Herb and Rose Coleman were faculty colleagues of mine at Mississippi Valley State University from 1980 to 1984.

Dr. and Mrs. Coleman taught me at Mississippi Valley State. They both were awesome educators and made sure that as music majors, we were ready to be teachers in the music classroom. Mrs. Coleman and her husband had a profound influence on myself, as well as so many others. I was thinking about them and decided to Google their names. My sincere condolences to the family. May God continue to give you strength and comfort during this time of bereavement. God bless!
