She has been displaced for a number of years and is anxious to move back home. She is married and a mother of 5 grown sons. For the last 5 years, she has been the Activities Director at two different Senior Facilities in Missouri. They are sorry to see her leave but happy she will be back in Texas  and near her boys and other family members.” Brenda Carter wrote in the HHAC March Newsletter. 

    “Moving back home after 30 years feels really good. And I’m super excited about my new opportunity and to be back HOME! Closer to our boys and of course my sister! Can’t wait to be a part of this awesome community,” Coleman said. 

Coleman’s first day on the job will be Monday, March 13, 2023.
