JACQUELINE’s Obituary EARTH HAS NO SORROW THAT HEAVEN CANNOT HEAL. ON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2019, GOD CALLED JACQUELINE “JACKIE” BACON COLEMAN HOME AFTER A BRIEF ILLNESS. JACKIE WAS BORN AUGUST 20, 1946, IN GRACEY, KENTUCKY, TO THE LATE MRS.
ESTHER BACON WHITLOCK AND THE LATE REV. DAVID R. WHITLOCK. JACKIE ACCEPTED CHRIST AS HER PERSONAL SAVIOR EARLY IN LIFE AND WAS UNITED WITH THE GRACEY BAPTIST CHURCH.
SHE REMAINED A FAITHFUL AND CONTRIBUTING MEMBER UNTIL SHE MOVED TO HOPKINSVILLE AND JOINED THE VIRGINIA STREET BAPTIST CHURCH IN 1971. VIRGINIA STREET ENJOYED HER LIVELY AND COOPERATIVE SPIRIT IN MANY PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING THE WILLING WORKERS, YOUNG MOTHERS, SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER IN THE CHILDREN’S DEPARTMENT, SENIOR CHOIR, VIRGINIANS, MASS CHOIR, V-SET, AND ADOPT-A-GRANDPARENT. SHE IS AN ALUM OF HOPKINSVILLE’S FOCUS 21.
JACKIE WAS EDUCATED IN THE CHRISTIAN COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND GRADUATED FROM ATTUCKS HIGH SCHOOL. SHE RETIRED FROM WESTERN STATE HOSPITAL AFTER OVER 20 YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE. JACKIE WAS A DEVOTED AND LIFETIME MEMBER IN CLASS ’65 OF ATTUCKS HIGH SCHOOL.
FULL PARTICIPATION IN FELLOWSHIP MEETINGS AND TRIPS TO NOTABLE CITIES AND SITES WERE HIGHLIGHTS OF HER INVOLVEMENT, BUT SHE WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED FOR BEING A PART OF THE PLANNING TEAMS. JACKIE AND CHARLIE HAVE BEEN JOINED IN MATRIMONY FOR 52 YEARS. TO THIS UNION ARE TWO CHILDREN, GREGORY AND ARNISSA “MISSY”.
HER SISTER, SHIRLEY NWANGWA, AND HER PARENTS, REV. AND MRS. DAVID WHITLOCK, PRECEDED HER IN DEATH.
SHE IS SURVIVED BY HER DEVOTED HUSBAND CHARLIE; CHILDREN GREGORY COLEMAN AND MISSY GIBSON; SISTER VICKI BAILEY; GRANDCHILDREN COREY, CHRISTIAN, CAMERON, KYLE, KOLBY, TERRANCE, AND JAKIYA; FOUR GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN; AUNT VERA GILMER JOHNSON; AND A HOST OF NIECES, NEPHEWS, OTHER RELATIVES, AND FRIENDS. WHILE ALL FAMILY MEMBERS ARE SPECIAL TO JACKIE, HER NEPHEW, NICK, BROUGHT A SPECIAL JOY. AS WE ACCEPT GOD’S WILL, WE ALSO ACCEPT THE GRACIOUSNESS AND KINDNESS OF ALL WHO HAVE BEEN WITH US THROUGH THIS DIFFICULT TIME.
REV. DR. M. O. FORT, MELVITA AND MICHAEL REEVES, MELANIE JOHNSON, AND THE TRISTAR SKYLINE MEDICAL CENTER TEAM – PLEASE ACCEPT OUR WORDS OF THANKS TO CONVEY OUR APPRECIATION FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE.
MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU. IN TIMES LIKE THESE, WE NEED A SAVIOR. IN TIMES LIKE THESE, WE NEED AN ANCHOR.
BE VERY SURE YOUR ANCHOR HOLDS AND GRIPS THE SOLID ROCK, JESUS. OUR FAITH AND STRENGTH REMAIN ANCHORED IN HIM. IN LIEU OF FLOWERS, A MEMORIAL TRIBUTE TO THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION HONORING JACKIE COLEMAN WILL BE APPRECIATED.
