Helen Coleman, passed away peacefully at her home on September 5, 2025, at the age of 74. Born on July 31, 1951, Helen was a beloved daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose warmth and compassion touched the lives of many.

Helen dedicated her life to nurturing her family and creating a loving home. She found joy in her role as a mother to her two daughters, Valerie (Robert) Huffman and Nichole Coleman, instilling in them the values of kindness, perseverance, and faith. Her devotion extended grandly, as she embraced the roles of grandmother to Josie Huffman, Robert (Sarah) Huffman II, Jessica (Justin) Huffman Hazelwood, and Bradley Huffman, as well as great-grandmother to Isaac Huffman, Harper Harris, Marlei Hazelwood, and Ryleigh Smith. Each of her grandchildren held a special place in her heart, and she cherished every moment spent with them.
