Wanda Lee Coleman Wanda Lee Yount Coleman went home to be with the Lord on December 15th, 2023 at the age of 89. She was born on October 6, 1934 in Quaker, MO. Her tenacious spirit and devotion to her Savior was evident at a young age, leaving her rural home at thirteen to work in the city. Wanda attended Moody Bible Institute. She later met and married her sweetheart, a young Airman named Robert (Bob) Eugene Coleman on September 1, 1956 in St. Louis, MO. Wanda was a dedicated United States Air Force wife and mother of four boys. Her gift of cooking and hosting made her home a haven for her family and friends. Wanda enjoyed traveling both internationally and domestically, especially alongside those she loved. She had a knack for bargain shopping and perusing local garage sales. Wanda had the gift of gab, never short on stories or her sense of humor. She was a consistent and joyful presence in the life of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, always in attendance for family celebrations and activities. Wanda lived out her deep love for the Lord through her grace and service to others. She was passionate about nursing home chaplaincy, faithfully leading a weekly praise, worship, and Bible study in a local facility for 34 years. She had an empathetic heart for grieving people, discipling in her church's GriefShare ministry. She was “Mom” to many sons and daughters in Africa, both in Nigeria and Cameroon, passionately caring for them. She had a no- nonsense approach to expressing her love for God and her Savior Jesus, never passing up a chance to tell anyone she encountered about the gift of salvation. She was a fierce prayer warrior who cared deeply for the supplication of others. Wanda was preceded in death by her husband of 44 years, Bob Coleman; parents, Elmer and Blanche Yount; brothers, Harold Yount, Earl Yount, Ray Yount, and Donald Yount; sisters, Edna Yount Whitaker and Wilma Yount Woolsey. She is survived by her sons, Clarke (Margaret) Coleman, Stan (Terrisa) Coleman, Craig Coleman, and Stuart Coleman; brother Jack Yount; sister Alta Yount Crocker; grandchildren, Jaime (Chris) Flores, Karis (Chris) Walker, Jeffery (Brandy) Elliott, Bridgett (Jorge) Hernandez, Kayla (Jeremy) Valenzuela, Bailey (John) Cordero, Hannah Coleman, Kyndal (Christopher) Singleton, Kaitlyn (Alexander) Rutledge, Gianna (Trey) Wolfe; 22 great- grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild. Wanda was resolute in her faith in her Lord and Savior. Her memory will live on through the legacy of her family and the countless lives she pointed to Jesus. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
