Jimmie V.

Coleman

Mrs. Jimmie V. Coleman was born on May 11, 1938 to the late Florence and Russell Thompson in Calhoun City, Mississippi. Jimmie, known as "Beck," unexpectedly transitioned to her new home in heaven on July 17, 2026.

Jimmie accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior at an early age.

Jimmie relocated to Toledo, Ohio in 1973. She loved to cook her soul food and feed everyone. She loved her children, and taking care of her grandchildren, and her great grands. She worked many jobs in her lifetime from picking cotton to domestic work. One thing about "Beck," she was always willing to help.

Today we reflect on the 88 years of life that God blessed her with. Her journey and assignment began in 1938, and she completed it with faith, love, and joy in 2026.

2 Timothy 4:7 I have done my best in the race, I have run the full distance, and I have kept the faith.

Though her life had many hurdles, God guided her every step. Losing both parents when she was a baby, Lula and Boss Herod accepted the assignment and raised her as their own. Jimmie was a proud loving mother of 4, but she was a mother to all that needed her. She was a strong spirited person with a gentle heart. She was very kind and giving.

Jimmie was preceded in death by both parents; brother, Toil Thompson; great granddaughters, Shawntae Knox and Dominique Welch.

Jimmie is survived by her daughters, Johnnie (Leon) King, Ora Jean Welch, Jimmie Dale Welch; son, Odell Welch all from Toledo, Ohio.
