Early in her life, she accepted Christ as her personal Savior.  Her education began at the Byromville Elementary School in Byromville, Georgia.  She continued her education at Vienna High School where she graduated in May of 1973.

Ms. Birdie Coleman was employed by Delta Airlines for 16 years until her retirement in November of 2005.  Too busy to sit still, she re-entered the workforce as a Housekeeper for Mercy Housing.  She continued her sound work ethics and loyalty to her employer for nine years.

A homebody, she loved her television shows, General Hospital, Law and Order , First 48 , and Buried in the Backyard .  She loved holiday dinners and making sure you didn't have more food on your plate than she had on hers.

Jean lived her life to the fullest always working hard, yet  seldomly playing hard.  She transitioned from her temporary residence to her eternal home on Saturday, March 5, 2022.  Her daughter, Juliet Montford also precedes her in death.
