Shirley Ann Coleman, the fifth child of the late James Farmer Sr. and Geneva Sorrells Farmer, passed away peacefully on Friday, May 30, 2025, at the age of 70. She was called home to be with the Lord. She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Coleman Sr.; her son, Timothy Brown; her brothers, Gary and Terry Farmer; and her sister, Sheila Farmer.
