Pamela Ann Coleman
Pamela Ann Coleman, age 76 passed away Friday, October 22, 2021 in Green Valley, AZ. Pam was surrounded by family and friends at home per her final wishes. Pam was born June 20, 1945 in Rochester, MN.
Pam graduated from Rochester John Marshall High School in 1963. On September 4, 1965 she married John David Coleman and enjoyed 56 years of married life with John. Pam and John were blessed with a son Steven. Steven and his wife, Wynne have two daughters, Gabrielle Ann and Catherine Ann to which Grandma loved.
Pam was predeceased by her parents, Douglas Fred Young and Betty Linden Young, along with brother, Jeffry Young.
Pam spent the first 69 years of her life in Rochester where she established an abundance of long-term relationships. Pam and John retired to Green Valley Arizona in 2014 where Pam continued to establish a new set of friendships which will be treasured forever and continued by John.
“I always enjoyed my many friends and family who meant so much to me. Without friends and family, you have nothing. Bless them all” – Pam.
Pam enjoyed her many early activities that included horseback riding, downhill skiing, golf, and countless domestic and international trips; all combined in the spirit of being a thrill seeker. The gardening was truly the most relaxing. Pam volunteered herself over her years by assisting people in need. This specific caring and comforting attribute was recognized by many. Pam was a primary contributor in creating the Rochester Area Ostomy Group. This caring and comforting attribute was rooted by personal experience.
The Funeral Mass will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 30, 2021 at the Co-Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, with Rev. Msgr. Gerald Mahon officiating (11 4th Ave. SW Rochester, MN). Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service on Saturday at Co-Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church and on Friday evening, October 29, 2021 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the River Park Chapel at Macken Funeral Home (1119 11 ½ ST SE Rochester, MN). Interment will be in Calvary Cemetery.

Dear John,
May I extend to you my most sincere condolences for the loss of your dear wife and best friend Pam. Ross and I arrived in GV yesterday, and Ross was catching up on the Rochester news. He just brought to my attention Pam's passing. I am so very sad to learn of this.
I hope we can connect when you return to GV. I would love to visit with you and share your grief. Her life was very rich and fulfilling. I'd like to learn more.
Please know I am holding you and your family in thought and prayer.
Blessings and a big hug. Paddy Hurley
Keep holding her hand, she'll never let go!
Dear John, we were saddened to read of Pam's passing. While our paths have not crossed in many years, we have fond thoughts of both of you and the fun times we shared while living in Rochester. Please extend our deepest sympathy to Steve and his family.
May Our Savior give you strength and courage at this difficult time.
Fondly,
Jim and Sandy
John,
Mom (Leone Trygstad) and I are so sorry for the loss of your wife! Sorry we did not know she was ill. We surely have missed her since she moved from Rochester. Yet we know how much she loved living in Arizona. I enjoyed our times together golfing, dinner, cocktails and visiting both of you in Rochester. John I will pray for you as you work through the loss of your beloved wife! So so sorry. My mom is doing “ok” and is in Iowa with her 96 year old brother for 3 weeks, so she will not be there for Pams funeral. God bless! Your friends, Sheri and Leone Trygstad
Blessings and prayers, John and family! May Pam rest in eternal peace!
John and family, I send caring thoughts to you during this difficult time. May you gather strength from each other to help you through the days ahead.
Carrie
John
Prayers and deepest sympathy to you and your family.
