Honoring the Memory
of Those
We Love

Coleman, Carol
Age 79, on Saturday, July 15, 2023, of Bethel Park.

Beloved mother of Amy (Christopher) Burkes and Philip (Christina) Potosnak; loving CeCe of Sydney and Grace Burkes and Finley Potosnak; daughter of the late John and Elizabeth Coleman; sister of Cindy (John) Lewis, Mary Pat (Ronald) Imburgia and the late John "Jack" (survived by Maureen) Coleman. Also survived by many nieces and nephews. Carol was raised in the Oakland area of Pittsburgh and graduated from Saint Paul’s Cathedral High School in 1962. She worked as a wire transfer specialist for Mellon Bank for over thirty years and retired in 2005. In her spare time, she enjoyed walks in South Park, volunteered at St. Clair Hospital and acted as a member of the choir at Resurrection Parish (formerly St. John Capistran Church). She spent time playing games and doing crafts with her granddaughter while her daughter was at work.
Carol showed her focus, determination and timing through dancing to her favorite big band, jazz and swing music. She had many fond memories of attending concerts including Phil Collins, Tower of Power, Frank Sinatra, The Rolling Stones and Michael Buble with her dear friends. Singing was another passion that she shared with her grandchildren at Christmas time and over the telephone and video calls. Carol loved holidays and other celebrations. She always knew when someone was getting married, graduating, having a birthday, or a baby for that matter. She always wanted to send a card and a little something to join in on the celebration. Life events were very special to her.
