Diane Panzico Coleman

Funeral services for Diane Panzico Coleman, 72, of Monroe, will be held at 11:00 AM Saturday, February 1, 2014, in the chapel of Mulhearn Funeral Home, Sterlington Road, Monroe, with Rev. Whit Bass and Rev. Dale Walker officiating. Interment will follow at Mulhearn Memorial Park Cemetery.

Mrs. Coleman went to be with the Lord, Tuesday, January 28, 2014, surrounded by her husband, loving children, and family. She was born September 6, 1941, to Willie Ruel & Yvonne Ferguson. Diane was a lifetime resident of Monroe, LA serving 35 years in the Ouachita Parish School System as a favorite 1st grade teacher. Her compassion for her students was heartfelt and she continued to teach her grandchildren even after her retirement.

Known as ‘D’, Dot-Dot and Granny Dot to many, those of us who really knew her called her “Princess Di”. The epitome of southern hospitality and grace, she was a friend to all who met her.

Survivors include her husband of 23 years, Jack Coleman; her children, Cindy and husband Mark Lindstrom, Lori and husband Stuart (Bimbo) Smith, LeeAnn and husband Troy Shows; stepchildren, Clint and wife Heather Coleman, Scott and wife Tracy Coleman, and Ladonna Coleman; grandchildren, Trevor and wife Celena Smith, Taylor and wife Dakota Smith, Shelby and husband Josh Shelton, Trenton Smith, Connor Lindstrom, Payton Lindstrom, Nicholas Shows, Sydney Shows, and Heather, Clinton, Mathew, Dillon, Destinee, Carson, Cameron, and Tessa Coleman; great grandchildren, Hayden and Piper Shelton, Jordyn Smith, Ryland Smith, and Logan Coleman; siblings, Sandra Borden, Rodney Ferguson, Nona Lee Ledford; mother-in-law, Mildred Hart Coleman; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be Friday from 5:00 PM until 8:00 PM at Mulhearn Funeral Home, Sterlington Road, Monroe.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
