1974-2025
Sandra Brown Coleman, a fearless, independent soul who lived life with passion and purpose, passed away on January 15, 2025, at the age of 50. Known for her unshakable strength and boundless energy, she was a fierce advocate, accomplished entrepreneur, and a shining light to all who knew her.
An outdoor enthusiast, Sandra spent her happiest days hunting, fishing, camping, being at the lake and running her cafe. Whether by the campfire or in her kitchen, she was a talented chef who brought people together with her delicious meals and warm hospitality. You could always find her at the cafe making sure everyone was taken care of.
A lover of adventure, her strong sense of justice and determination to stand up for what was right inspired everyone around her. With a quick wit and infectious sense of humor, Sandra was always the life of the party, bringing laughter and joy wherever she went.
More than anything, she was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister and aunt. She had a special way of making children feel loved and valued, and her family was the heart of her world, especially her granddaughter Harmoni Kenward. Sandra also was raising her great niece Hadley Hogan. Those precious babies are her everything!
Her entrepreneurial spirit drove her to success as a business owner of Main Street Cafe in Rison. She opened the cafe on December 19, 2016, where she built not only a thriving enterprise but also lasting relationships within her community. Her legacy of strength, compassion, and humor will live on in the countless lives she touched.
