Send flowers for Delphine Williams Colman

I offer prayers and condolences to Mrs.Coleman's family. I worked with her at Jim Hill High School. She was a lovely coworker. Again, condolences.

A good teacher makes you a better student, a great teacher makes you a better person. Mrs. Colman was that for me by helping me harness my rebellious energy and by preparing me for life after high school. I still have fond memories of our many after class conversations/discussions. She was much more than a teacher to me. She was also a mentor, confidante and life coach.

Charles Henderson-Class of 74

Ms. Coleman was most helpful and my favorite teacher at Jim Hill she was more than a teacher to most of the student there she more like a mother to most of us there. She will truly be missed. Berlinda Aldridge Prewitt

May the peace of God embrace and strengthen each of you in this time of sorrow. We will remember the smiles, laughter, and kindness Delphine shared and always be grateful to God for her presence with us over the years. May God bless these moments of remembrance.

Ann Hardy Finch

It is difficult to articulate the depth of the sorrow you are experiencing. I pray that you find solace and strength during this incredibly challenging period. May divine guidance illuminate your path when it seems obscured, and may you discover tranquility even when it feels distant. Please accept my heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

Ashley Lewis

I met Ms. Coleman while she served as a teacher in Michigan. She was a delight to work with; she always had a smile and a story. She loved people, especially young people. Delphine would attend after-school in activities to support the students. There was nothing she wouldn't do to support and encourage her students. She was a "bright light" everywhere she went. We thank God for sharing Delphine Coleman with us. I am sending strength to her family.

Janet

My condolences to the family. Ms. Coleman was truly a long time educator. She was at Jim Hill when I was there which is Class 1980. I pray God will bless the family. Jessie Austin Pamplin

Delphine was a beautiful person. Her family was my family. My family was her family. The impact she and her family has had on my family and others absolutely cannot be measured. The Love we have for each other cannot be measured. She will be rewarded for all of the encouragement and great works. Rest in peace.

Delphine was a beautiful soul. She could call me Sarge from a block away, and I would know it was her. She and I started the dance team at Mt Clemens HS. My beautiful sister take your rest.

Earnett Nolden

My condolences to the family of Mrs. Coleman. She was not only a highly capable teacher, meaning she helped her students learn the material she was sharing; she held us to a high standard behaviorally. I also appreciated her engagement with us in non-classroom activities such as Kaleidoscope and ball games. She was truly a professional educator and woman of great integrity.

Michael Johnson Class of 1978

Michael T Johnson

I would have loved to talk to you. I think it was 1978 when I did. I think of you from time to time. I'm sorry you are gone. You motivated me to do well. You were so hard to do well with on our test that I just had to do well. Thanks for showing me I could do it. Sorry to all of her friends and family.

Rusty Ferguson

Mrs Colman entered my life as a teacher at Mt Clemens High School in Michigan I can say she was my real life guardian angel in regards to my education.She took me under her wing and mentored me throughout my high school years. She then helped support me and fellow classmates to take a trip and visit Jackson State University where we would go on to attend. She was only one call away and would put me in my place if needed. I thank you for all that you did. Thank you for accepting me into the family when she included me Sonya(Tiger) and Dee I'm am one call away and will never forget the things she instilled in me
