Patricia answered the two highest callings in life that of Mom and and loving Wife. In these roles Patricia excelled, and was the Heart and glue of the family and taught her children how to love. There was never ever even one second where her children didn't know in their hearts that they were completely and totally loved, and still to this day her love can be felt among her family in every day life. Patricia contributed to the circle of life and left the world a much better place.
Blessed be the memory of Patricia Ann Coleman.
