Erin Coleman's Obituary
Miss Erin Luanne Coleman, born on July 15, 1928, in Miami, Florida, passed away on May 5, 2025, in Tamarac, Florida. A lifelong lover of music, Erin attended Miami Senior High before pursuing her passion at the Juilliard School, where she completed her studies in the 1950s.

Erin was deeply committed to her students and maintained lasting friendships with many throughout her lifetime.
She was predeceased by her brother, D.C. Coleman, Jr., and her sister, Lois Coleman VanDame. Erin leaves behind a cherished legacy through her four nieces and one nephew, as well as numerous great-nieces, great-great-nieces, and great-great-nephews. Her wisdom, warmth, and passion will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. A Celebration of Life will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, in June.
