Her son Logan and her best friend Nesia Campbell also accompanied her throughout the weekend.
Coleman worked at Channel 4 from 1999 to 2001 and went to work at our sister station WKMG, which is in Orlando.
Since then, she’s been out of the business for years and has worked in public relations and writing.
Coleman is remembered as someone who was not afraid to try anything. She also had memorable on-air moments with the station such as when she went on a nuclear submarine and the skipper let her drive the boat.
Coleman’s funeral arrangements have not been announced.
She will be deeply missed, and we send our condolences to her loved ones.
