Melanie Susan Coleman

Melanie Susan Coleman of Oxford, went home to be with our Lord on August 18, 2015. She was born September 17, 1957, to Richard Lee and Marian (Fouts) Coleman. At three and a half years of age, Susan contracted measles, which resulted in encephalitis, leaving her with profound brain damage. Throughout her 57 years, she brought abundant joy to her family, as well as her co-nursing home residents, with her spontaneous smile and exuberant laughter. Susan will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. She was preceded in death by her devoted father, Richard Lee Coleman.

Survivors include her loving mother, Marian Coleman; sister and brother-in-law, Teresa and Allen McGraw; their children, Matthew and Jennifer McGraw, Richard and Amanda McGraw, Melanie McGraw; another sister and brother-in-law, Karen and David Crowder; their children, Megan and Kevin Long, Jessica and Trevor Kimberlin, Coleman Grady Crowder; as well as six great-nieces and great-nephews.
