I never knew her, but i was the first grandchild…born to booker coleman in september, 1982…Im sorry for the loss.
to Booker, this is Tammy, sorry to read of your loss. I will always remember her. Send my love to Lee and Kevin, they may remember me from my brother Curtis.
I worked with Azzie at Boeing in Seattle and later in Kent. Azzie was a joy to be around. It seemed that everyone loved Azzie. She had the unique ability to bring the best out of people. If you were around Azzie, you couldn’t have a bad day. She is missed.
To our dearest friend,you are in our prayers. Azzie and John at first patrons to our family restaurant in Burien, became close friends to our family over the years. They shared many stories and laughter with our family and our children loved to sit and talk to them everyday. When Azzie and John walked in, Azzie’s smile would light up the room, her wonderful laugh would uplift hearts and she will be greatly missed. We lost touch with the Munsons a few years ago, but they are always in our thoughts and in our hearts. John we love you brother our condolences go out to you and your family. Please contact us Rudy & Sally Manginsay and Family 425-235-3284. God Bless
Aunt Azzie,
Ever since I met you I had always felt the warm Godly spirit that you carried with you no matter what the situation was.
God has certainly taken a beautiful flower away from our family and you will be truly missed. I know that you are up in heaven with Grandpa and Grandma smiling on us.
We have been through storm after storm, but the LORD has certainly blessed us with the victory to prevail each one.
The bible says that the Lord Giveth and the Lord Taketh away….he called you home and we are sad in our flesh but rejoicing in the spirit of the Lord. You will be turly missed.
Love you
Curtis & Alicia Simpson & Family
Crossett, Arkansas
OUR BELOVED FRIEND HAS FALLEN IN LIFE’S BATTLE,ACKNOWLEDGED THE
SUPREMACY OF DEATH. ‘ Yield to a victory which no one can resist,
And entered upon a complete rest. It was decreed in the beginning
“ all must die.” But we shall rise from death to
Everlasting life if we are faithful unto death in the cause of thy
Christ. Our prayers are with you

Although are hearts are heavy we find peace in the word of God.
Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are quite small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us an immeasurably great glory that will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see right now; rather, we look forward to what we have not yet seen. For the troubles we see will soon be over, but the joys to come will last forever.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Aunt Azzie was who I aspired to be growing up. Someday I hope to embody the grace and dignity that just oozed from her naturally. To be so would be a blessing like no other. You guys had a wonderful wife & Mother, in my opinion. I loved her very much. I am glad that I got to tell her so before she went to be with the Lord. We love you all. Ours prayers are with you. The Thomas Family.
God has called another ANGEL home.
I know that you are in a better place, and that you are having a great time praising the Lord with Mom and Dad and our brothers and sisters.
God Bless
Always Love Ya
DeJuan
Aunt Tee you will be missed and I love you and would never forget you! I hope you and Granny, Aunt Wanda, Uncle Albert, Cousin Joyce, Niya, and Papa are having a good time!
My loving sister Azzie, I will always remember you by your sweet smile and curley hair. Your sweet spirit will always be in my heart and memories. I know that all of you are watching over the rest of the family so please draw us closer together. We miss you and love you very much.
Your Baby Sister,
Sally
Growing up as a young child, I remember Aunt Azzie staying with us during the holidays that she came to Arkansas and admiring the relationship she had with Uncle John. I remember saying, “if I ever get married, I wanna be just like them”. Aunt Azzie, you were truly loved by all of your family. Now the one who loved you first has called you home. Since you’re an angel in heaven now, help me take care of mama. You will be missed and you’ll forever be in my heart.
Your niece,
Shaura
Azzie, you left me without a warning. I know that you are in the arms of the Lord. Say hello to mom and dad for me. You’ll forever be in my heart. I miss you so much!
Your loving sister,
Bettye
Grandma Azzie all I have left is memories of your voice over the telephone. I can’t remember ever meeting you in person but know I will forever love & cherish every call ever made. May your beautiful soul rest in peace!
BTW I believe my older brother Romale Russ was her 1st grandchild born July 5, 1982 to her only girl Gwendolyn Faye Russ.
