OBITUARY

Mrs. Rose K. Coleman, age 90, passed away peacefully in her sleep on the evening of November 4, 2024, with family at her residence in Austin, TX.

Rose was preceded in death by her husband of 57 years, MSG Robert J. Coleman, son Richard J. Coleman; grandson Richard J. Coleman Jr; stepdaughter Dolores Queen; and stepson Robert J. Coleman Jr.

She grew up in Dillingen, Germany, experiencing the fall of Nazi Germany and the Allied occupation. Rose met her husband, MSG Robert J. Coleman, there, and they married in 1958, later relocating to Fort Ord, CA, in 1960. They settled in Seaside, CA, and raised their family.

She was a military spouse, and upon her husband’s retirement, they were active in many local activities and supported their children, grandchildren, schools, youth activities, and churches.

Rose was a loving wife, sister, aunt, mother and grandmother, a homemaker and part-time volunteer at San Carlos School and Church during the attendance of her children and grandchildren, and later a parishioner of St. Francis Xavier Church of Seaside.

She is survived by her sons Daniel J. Coleman (wife Shelly A. Coleman) and John H. Coleman (wife Ragni D. Coleman); daughter-in-law Sudha T. Coleman; stepdaughter Brenda Coleman; grandchildren Dallas (Neela) R. Coleman, Daniel J. Coleman Jr., John H. Coleman Jr., Alexander J. Coleman, Meena D. Coleman, and Sophia A. Coleman; and step-grandchildren Suzette M. Vidners and Michael D. Sabado.

Rose leaves behind a legacy of love and commitment to family as she lived so selflessly in her caring and giving in life.

A family service will be held on January 3, 2025, at Mission Mortuary and Memorial Park.
