Barbara was born and raised at the family homestead on Long Branch Hollow in the Leonard Oak community to Arvil and Fannie Johnson. After graduating Butler County High School, she was employed at General Electric in Owensboro until, after meeting and marrying her husband of over 60 years, Glendel Ray Coleman, they returned to Morgantown to raise their family. While Glen and his brother David worked building the first of several business ventures, Coleman Brothers Motors, Barbara kept the household running while trying to keep control of three rambunctious sons. Over the years, Barbara became a friend to many, always lighting up the room wherever she went. She loved her family, her church, Cool Springs General Baptist, her neighbors on Bell Street, and the Morgantown community. Anyone who witnessed Barbara driving around town in her red PT Cruiser with her cherished cocker spaniel Harvey knew that she loved life to its fullest.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Glen and her beloved brothers Chester, Len, and Laron.
Burial in the Cool Springs Cemetery.
