Margie Marie Renfrow was born to the union of Willie Alfred and Vera Idell Moody Renfrow on September 12, 1949. She was raised in Georgetown, Louisiana where she attended Georgetown High School. After her mother passed away on October 10, 1965, she went to live in California with her oldest brother Leonard Gray. She married Mervin Burke July 12, 1967, who was the father of her oldest daughter Mary Ann Burke. They divorced in July of 1969. She married Leonard Otis Coleman, Sr on July 26, 1969. He was the father of her children Leonard O. Coleman, Jr., Alma Idell Coleman, and Walter Franklin Coleman. She passed from this life in her home in Pineville, Louisiana on March 16, 2015. Graveside services were held at Lincecum Cemetery in Georgetown, Louisiana under the direction of Rush Funeral Homes of Pineville, Louisiana.
She smoked liked a train, but we loved her anyway. The price of the pack of cigarettes determined what brand she smoked. She could always be found fashionably attired in comfortable t-shirt, capris and a pair of house shoes. She never left the house without her Mother’s ring. She never wore a watch because she said that the battery never lasted more than an hour on her wrist. No bra was ever worn out or overused in her wardrobe. Her hair has been jet black for as long as she has been able to afford hair dye, other than the gray that slipped in between hair color. She kept it pulled back in a partial ponytail for as long as we can remember.
She drank Between Roast Community Coffee and was NEVER without a cup of coffee close at hand. She kept a thermos close by to keep her from ever running low. Her children believe that no one can make a better pot of Butter Beans or cook Fried Liver like she could.
At the mere mention of the possibility of going of to the Goodwill or Ryan’s, she could be out the front door like a shot. On good days, she could even be talked into some Garage Sales. Judge Judy was her favorite TV show. She listened to old country music and old time Gospel music. She read the bible on a regular basis and it was never far from her side. She loved to collect all things American Indian, making plastic canvas dolls, crocheting, and making bead jewlrey.
She is survived by her children Mary Ann Burke Sylve, Leonard Otis “Bubba” Coleman and his wife Dawn, Alma Idell “Penny” Lebouef, and Walter Franklin “Tree” Coleman, one sister Ida Belle Renfrow Sparks and husband Charles “Junior”, one brother Russell Earl Renfrow and Sata “Aimee” Lail, 12 grand children and 8 great grandchildren, as well as her constant companion and watch dog Crash.
She is preceded in death by her parents Willie Alfred “Bill” and Vera Idell Moody Renfrow, her brothers, Leonard Gray, Claude Oliver Gray, sisters Lurlene Gray Beers and Alma Ruth “Pat” Renfrow Russell, and her dog Susy.
Everyone who remembers her is asked to celebrate her life in whatever way; raising a cup of coffee in her honor would be quite appropriate. Instead of flowers, her family would hope that you do an unexpected and unsolicited act of kindness for some poor unfortunate soul in her name.
“May the Stars carry your sadness away, may the flowers fill your heart with beauty, may hope forever wipe away your tears, and, above all, may silence make you strong.” – Chief Dan George.
