November 4th,1936 – June 5th,2013
Sarah Jackson Coleman was born November 4, 1936, in Iberville, Louisiana to James and Louise Collins Jackson. Sarah was the baby girl and sixth in the line of seven children. Sarah was raised in a very close and loving family. In 1941 her family relocated to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Her father opened and operated a grocery store called Jackson Groceries. Sarah worked very closely with her father in the store after school. Sarah often told stories of how much she loved working in the family business, side by side with her father who called her Jim. After graduating from McKinley High School in 1953, Sarah attended Southern University for one year.
During high school Sarah met and became involved in a romantic courtship with Wilbert L. Olinde Sr. who said, he would “Buy her the moon, if someone would sell it to him”. They were married on November 13, 1954, and relocated to San Diego, California in 1956. This union was blessed with two children, son Wilbert L. Olinde Jr., and daughter Sylvia Denise Olinde.
Sarah was a stay at home mom during her children’s early formative years. However, she did return to her other love ~ EDUCATION. She earned her Certified Nursing Assistant degree and went on to work as a Certified Nurse’s Assistant at Sharp Memorial Hospital.
Sarah continued her educational pursuit and attended San Diego State University where she earned her Bachelor and Master Degrees in Education Administration. Sarah began her teaching career at Stockton Elementary in 1967. After 30 years of dedicated service to her students and community she retired as Principle of Florence Elementary School in Hillcrest.
Sarah was also active in her church, Mt Zion Missionary Baptist Church. She served on the usher board which afforded her the opportunity to greet God’s People with her infectious smile and care for them with her loving heart. She always enjoyed making sure everyone was welcomed, comfortable and well entertained.
Throughout her life Sarah enjoyed elegance and the finer things in life. She served as a role model for her children, nieces, nephews, and anyone she came in contact with. Sarah always encouraged everyone to live their dreams and reach for the stars, just as she did.
Sarah’s niece Cathy, described her as her “Aunt who had a Peppery Style”, as most would agree. “She was determined to be great and make something special of her life. She was the strong rock of the family.” Everyone turned to her to resolve any situation and offer words of wisdom and encouragement. As hard as The Rock was, it was just as Sweet. Sarah always made everyone feel comfortable in her presence. Sarah was a beautiful, kind, loving, and graceful LADY who taught and motivated by example.
Sarah met and married Edward “Ed” Coleman in 1989. Ed affectionately nick named Sarah “Foxy” because of her beauty and outgoing personality. They shared a loving relationship and shortly after retirement relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada. They returned to San Diego in 2009 and continued their beautiful relationship until Ed’s passing in 2011. Friends and family still call her “Foxy”, she earned it.
On Wednesday June 5, 2013 early in the morning, Foxy Sarah J. Coleman was called from labor to her reward. Foxy Sarah J. will be greatly missed by her many family members and friends.
Sarah leaves to cherish her memories her daughter Sylvia Denise Olinde of Hayward, Ca.; her son and his wife Wilbert Louis Jr. and Ursula Olinde of Germany; three grandchildren Denise Helen, Louis and Jason Olinde all of Germany; former husband Wilbert Olinde Sr. of San Diego, Ca.; sister in-laws Betty Lindville and Lucille Robinson of San Diego, Ca, and Isabelle Thompson of Perris, Ca.; brother in laws Willie, Jessie, and David Bowman and Tim Robinson of San Diego, Ca.; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and many dear friends.
