Light a Candle
Our precious Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and Friend Margaret Harvey Coleman was called Home to be with our Lord and Saviour on Monday, February 13, 2012 @ 6:12 AM after spending Sunday surrounded by family and friends.
Margaret was born to Myrtis Celesta and Johnie Harvey on December 27, 1927 in Laney, Arkansas. They moved to Joaquin, Texas in 1929. Margaret attended Gaston HIgh School. In 1945 Margaret married G. B. Coleman, Sr.. Throughout their 28 year military career they lived on many military bases including Torrejon near Madrid, Spain.
Margaret loved sharing what the Lord had done in her life through His saving grace. She enjoyed nothing more than cooking and baking for her family and friends, spending time with her siblings and taking care of her dachshund Chica and LOVED to read and write letters.
