Lorrie Jean Coleman

Lorrie Jean Coleman was born in Seattle on November 14, 1961 and passed away unexpectedly on September 22, 2020, in Woodinville WA, at the age of 58. She was preceded in death by her husband Gil Coleman.

Lorrie grew up in the Kirkland area where she attended Juanita High School, graduating in 1980. In her youth, she had an active social and athletic life excelling in competitive figure skating and cheerleading. After high school, her entrepreneurial spirit kicked in and she opened and operated a successful nail salon until she took over the family pins and patches business, Lannoye Emblems. It is during this time she met her husband Gil and moved to Ellensburg and had their son, Riley. Unfortunately, Gil left us too soon and she was tasked with raising their son as a single parent with much support from her family and friends. Riley would prove to be one of her proudest achievements. Along the way, she cultivated countless long-lasting meaningful friendships. She was a kind soul and had endless compassion and empathy for those around her, even as she was faced with her own challenges. She should be remembered for her acceptance of others and belief in forgiveness, as lasting ideals for all of us to live up to. Lorrie was greatly loved and will be deeply missed by her family, many friends, and the entire Woodinville community.

She is survived by her son Riley, her parents Larry and Susan, her brother Troy, and nephew Maximilian.
