My beautiful sister. How I will miss you.

Such a sweet soul. RIP Dottie

I am so sad to hear of your passing. You were such a very fun and free-spirited woman. I’m so glad that I had a chance to get to know you. I keep the entire family in my prayers. I love all of you. I’m sending many many hugs. Dorothy was just a gem just like the rest of you she will be truly missed.

Dearest Dorothy, My Cousin Mike loves you with all his heart and soul. You were a beautiful spirit like no other. This world will be a lonlier place without your love and passion. May God Bless.

I love you mom, you were my everything, I pray to be just like you… you were so smart. I’m going to miss coming home from work and seeing you in your chair reading a magazine and eating a pop cycle in your hand. I love you mom.

Mike and family my sincere condolences. Dottie was such a beautiful and well spirited woman who I personally admired. I will miss her too. I pray you all find peace knowing that she is no longer suffering or in pain. May God hold and protect you.

My favorite memory of Dottie is when she would take Sofia, Taylor, Kayleigh, and I to Applebees after long days of us swimming and playing mermaids all day. She would drive us in her white Cadillac, she always had her jewelry on, nails done, hair done, makeup done, everything. She was always looking her best 100% of the time. When we’d get to Applebee’s we’d always have “girl talk” (that’s what she called it) it ended up with everyone at the table laughing our butts off for WAYYY longer at the Applebee’s than we should have been. Dottie was such a loving lady, who always treated me and my sister like her own every time we saw her. I remember her saying one time “I want a lady president! But I am NEVER voting for that Hillary Clinton! Ew!” Dottie was so funny, and always had a witty remark to say, or a story about her youth to provide. Most importantly whenever I think of strong women I’ve met in my life, Dottie Coleman is one of the first person that always comes to mind. She was the ultimate matriarch. She loved her entire family and it showed in everything she did.

This world is going to be a little less bright with out you in it, Mrs. Dottie. Thank you for always being so kind to us. We love you, and we will look out for Taylor for you.

I am so sorry for your loss, she was such a beautiful soul.

Billy & I are so sorry for your loss. I know it’s very hard for we have been through this way to many times. Dottie is no longer suffering, she will always be there with you know matter what giving each of you all the support you need in your hearts

Tracey wish we were there to give you hugs since we are not sending lots of virtual hugs

To the Coleman & Sears Families. I never knew Dottie but she was my cousin on my mothers side. My grandfather was
Stanley Sears who had a brother named Herman. I remember as a child where they lived. Over time families get away
from you as time. I just want to say she sounded like a wonderful person and lot of fun.
May she rest in peace. I pray the families find peace & remember the good times and have wonderful memories.
God Bless

It is so hard to lose someone that that lived life to its fullest, strong and beautiful and such a devotion to the family. I only had the privilege of seeing Dottie several times but I always get updated from Linda on the family. I know words can’t ever ease the pain of your loss but what a wonderful gift from God you had by having Dottie as part of your family. Sending prayers and hugs to the entire family. You earned your wings….Fly high Dottie!

Aunt Dot, you were so loving, an inspiration, and a beautiful soul. I will always remember our family gatherings together that fills my heart with prue joy. You will Forever be in our hearts, always remembered and never forgotten. I love and miss you so dearly.

Dottie was the epitome of pure class. We go way back to the 70’s. Dottie was high sprited and had a big personality. She mothered everyone, she was always caring and was always availble to listen and offer her advise. Dottie so loved Mike & her children, grandchildren etc…she will be sorely missed by all. Dottie, your are riding high with so many who’ve gone before you. My condolences to Mike Coleman and all of her family. Love to all…

Our Condolences 🙏🙏🙏 RIP 🙏

Such a Beautiful, Classy Lady, someone who I always looked up too. Dot always said what was on her mind, she was sassy, smart and had a heart of gold. Sending love, hugs and prayers to the entire family in these trying times, she will be truly missed by so many.

Mike, So sorry to hear about Dottie, I know you and your family will miss her forever. I am here for you. Albert

My beautiful neighbor. I will miss waving as you drive by. Seems like just yesterday that you drove by and tooted the horn. You always had something funny to say and make me laugh. I’m so sad that I couldn’t have seen you just one more time. You and Mike were one of our favorite neighbors. RIP

Words can not express the emptiness and pain we have experienced in last 2 months. My mom was OUR rock and MY hero. She was definitely a strong caring woman who befriended anyone who needed a friend. I feel like the wind(my breath) was knocked out of me and still gasping for air. Mom you are so very special and I am honored to say your my mom. I am blessed to have the memories a n d all the Wisdom you gave me. You are so very missed!

To my big sister Dot, my best friend, the most beautiful and classy LADY that I know. Looking tough and sexy on your bike, I’m glad you are my “Big Sis”. Your heart and soul will always be with me. Spending time with Dottie was always special, I could confide in her about anything; she was so insightful. I have many memories of our childhood growing up on the farm in Lothian, Dottie is reminiscent of grandma Sears in her matriarchal ways and kind treatment to others throughout the years. My beautiful sister will live eternally in my thoughts and memories. I will miss her every moment. God bless you Mike and my nieces and nephew. Love, Brenda & Steve.

I’m going to miss my mom mom more then anything especially all of are memories, like all the times i would get in trouble and you would lie for me so i wouldn’t get my phone taken or the times we would just gossip about the things going on around us. You really did do everything for me and made sure i had the best no matter what. You always stuck up for me to anyone you really were like another mom to me. I love and miss you so much.

To Mike and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Dottie was a kind, sweet and friendly neighbor. She will be greatly missed. Please accept my condolences and deepest sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

COLEMAN Family, our deepest condolences for you loss, We only had the pleasure of knowing Dottie for a short 10 years, but the memories are many. She was always a very kind, caring woman, We will miss her giggles and her company. GOD BLESS Dottie, Michael and the entire Coleman family.

There are so many great memories with Aunt Dotts! She will be missed tremendously by the many lives that she touched.
May she rest in peace.

I am so sorry for your loss. Dottie was a wonderful lady who was loved by family and friends. She is soaring with the angels now. I hope you find comfort in the love of your family and friends and the memories you share of your time with Dottie.
Love,
Suzanne Higgs

Our sincere condolences to Dottie’s family. We were sorry to hear of her passing. We bought our home on Mallard Lane from Dottie back in 1984 and still live in the home today. I know the Sears family farm was here on Mallard Lane and the family has many memories of our home. God Bless you during your grieving. Sharon and Greg Eurich

So many words that describe Dotty. She was like a second Mom to me and many others. She had grace, strength. She was a giver and would tell it how she seen it. She was loved by so many. Mom, wrap you beautiful wings around everyone and guide us to our resting place. Until we meet again. Love you

To Dotties family i pray that you will be given the strength to get through this. That you will take care of each other, lean on each other and love one another as she wished. That is the legacy that she left with all you. Family. To her Family was everything.
I will miss her as will everyone. I will cherish the memories of the last few times we were together and of course we ended up in Happy Harbor reminiscing until who knows what time. You were a wonderful part of so many lives and I know you will be one of God’s special angels.
