The world lost a warm, loving, genuine soul on Friday, November 27, 2015. Julie Ann Brightwell was taken in an unspeakable tragedy at the age of 52, leaving behind heart-broken family and many friends who will miss her shining light. A lovely, widely-attended beach-side vigil was held in Biloxi, MS, on Saturday, December 5, 2015 in her honor.
Julie was born in San Bernardino, California. She is preceded in death by her parents, Joan Brightwell and Frank Coleman; and her grandparents, Dick and Iva Coleman.
She is survived by her two daughters and grandchildren who reside in California; by many Coleman family aunts, uncles, and cousins, to include Burell and Helen Coleman of Brigham City, UT; Dee and Clara Coleman of San Bernardino, CA; Starr and Gloria Coleman of Boise, ID; Dicksie McDaniel of Tucson, AZ; and Diane and Carl Hickman of Grayson, LA.
Julie had lived with Diane and Carl Hickman for a number of years, and this terrible event has especially created a big hole in their lives.
Julie would also want to remember her best friends, John Banks, Johnny Banks and Jennifer Dahl Banks, as well as Linda Kilpatrick, who has been invaluable in assisting the family with the necessary details.
A memorial service will be held at 5:00 p.m. on Monday, December 7, 2015 at RIEMANN FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, 274 Beauvoir Road, Biloxi with a visitation for family and friends one hour prior to the service.
