Mrs. Anita was also very dedicated to her career with Whirlpool as well, retiring after 32 years of service. Mrs. Anita had such a strong personality.

She loved gardening, working puzzles, and shopping in her free time. She was also an avid reader. However, She loved nothing more than her Lord and Savior, and she was a proud member of Pine Bluff Church of Christ. She will truly be missed by all who knew her. Mrs. Anita is survived by her husband, Donald Coleman of Oxford; her three children, Donna (Mike) Pickens and Chad (Tracy) Coleman, both of Oxford, and Amy (Lee) Chrestman of Pontotoc, MS; six grandchildren, Beth Briscoe, Michelle Ard, Hunter Coleman, Tyler Coleman, Cole Chrestman, and Lynlee Chrestman; three great-grandchildren, Mary-Michael Swanson, Sarah Kate Briscoe, and Benjamin Ard; one sister, Genia (Keith) Lovelace of Oxford; one brother, Mike (Joyce) Wingo of Oxford; and a host of nieces, nephews, and extended family members. Mrs. Anita was preceded in death by her parents, Lloyd Wingo and Maxine Wingo; and one brother, Bobby Wingo.
