John Dennis Coleman

I was "born to Frank and Joyce Coleman in West Seattle on April 17, 1952 and died on May, 6, 2017 in Seattle. I grew up in West Seattle and from there met Danny the man I would love and marry spending our lives in the Greenlake area with our great animals throughout our lives:

For those of you who knew me, you know I lived my life the way I wanted. I said what I felt and especially in the later years didn't have the time to deal with all of the crazies in this world. I loved life and I loved everyone in my life even though sometimes I had a hard time showing it.

I am survived by my wonderful husband of 44 years, Danny Wilson and also by my constant companion Thumper. I also am survived by my fantastic mother Joyce Coleman and brother Bob and family, along with numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Preceded in death by father Frank Coleman Sr. along with my grand and great grandparents that I got to grow up knowing. We're all having a party and Grandma Oliver and I are driving around in heaven together again.

I want to thank Dr Cynthia Ferrucci, Dr Dan Fishbein and the entire staff at the U of W Medical Center for being on my side and keeping me going as long as you could. Also to the men and women of the fire stations at Greenwood and Northgate. You saved me more times than you realized.

I don't want a service with everyone standing around crying. My wish is for everyone to get together and have a great party and just remember the good and bad times and know that I am there watching and waiting to be with you all again and I guaranty I will have a big smile and hug for you. I love you all.
