Arlene Coleman Petersen Obituary
With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Arlene Coleman Petersen of Hampton, Virginia, who passed away on October 10, 2025. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Arlene Coleman Petersen to pay them a last tribute.
As we bid Arlene farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Arlene is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She was loved and cherished by many people including: her parents, Warren T. Coleman Jr. and Jean A. Coleman; her daughter Elizabeth (Doug); her stepchildren, Brittany Petersen, Laura Ilvento, Jeremey Petersen (Nichole Ashikis) and Todd Petersen; her brother Andy Coleman (Cheri); and her aunt Lannie Coleman-Davis (Jesse).
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to The Rheumatology Research Foundation at https://www.rheumresearch.org..
