Listen to Obituary

Geneva Denley Coleman,74, of Bruce passed from this life on July 19, 2021 at her home. Born on the fall day of October 23, 1946 in Calhoun City, She was a daughter to the late George Pascal Denley  and Lina Cantrell Denley.

Geneva spent many year of marital bliss with her loving husband James William Coleman. She spent twenty- three years working for the Kellwood Company before changing careers and becoming a nurse. After graduating from school she began a journey with the Calhoun City Nursing Home as a Licensed Practical Nurse that lasted for over twenty years. In her spare time, Geneva loved striking out to travel, especially when going on camping trips. She had strong presence on social media, using Facebook to keep with her friends and family. With the skills and ability to cook she knew how to throw all the elements of a meal together not only at home but also at church functions. Above all Geneva cherished time spent with her family. Geneva did not simply depart from this life; she held the cure to death in her soul, an active relationship with her Savior worshiping Him at Antioch Baptist Church.
