Deidra Marga Coleman

Born December 28, 1972 in Washington, DC
Departed September 5, 2023 in Melbourne, Florida

Deidra Marga Coleman, age 50 of Melbourne, Florida, loving wife, mother, and Catholic, went to our Lord on September 5, 2023. Deidra was born in Washington D.C. in December 1972. She was a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, business owner who loved her family, friends, and pets.

She graduated from Melbourne High School in 1991. She married her high school sweetheart Robert Coleman on May 3, 1997 at Saint Sebastian Catholic Church in Sebastian, Florida. She completed an Associate of Arts from Brevard Community College. Deidra was a co-owner of All Florida Water and Coffee located in Melbourne, Florida.

Deidra was a very empathetic loving woman. Everyone who knew Deidra found a special place in their heart for her. No matter how much pain she was in, she wouldn’t show it. Her beautiful eyes and loving smile will remain ingrained in our minds. She was taken from us too soon. May she be not afraid and in the protective arms of the angels and our Lord. May she be surrounded by loved ones who preceded her to heaven. Deidra’s wings were ready, our hearts were not.

She was preceded in death by her mother Anita Arbic Bunton. She is survived by her father Robert A. Bunton; loving husband of 26 years Robert L. Coleman and her two siblings and one amazing friend/sister/daughter*, Alicia A. Mann (husband Larry and niece Natalie Click); Crissy Bendix (husband Lee) and Brenda Boren Corliss* (husband Dave). In addition she leaves three children Colton, Olivia, and Leonah.

Special mention: nephew PJ, Coleman, related by parents (brother-in-law and sister-in-law) Joey and Diane Helsel Coleman. Father-in-law and mother-in-law, Joe, and Diane Coleman. Sister-in-law, Pam Coleman(husband Paul).

Deidra was truly a light in this world. I met her when I attended Mel High, briefly, for part of the 9th grade. I stayed connected with her thru our mutual friendship, with Chris, that spanned until she passed. She never had a negative word to say and always had a big, beautiful and welcoming smile. She made everyone feel important and heard and those qualities are so very rare. She was such a warrior and I never heard her complain about her illness. I am praying for her family and loved ones during this most difficult time.
