On a beautiful day in Gary, Indiana a “Queen” was born on October 9, 1956 to Ruth and Leon Coleman Jr., Ms. Deone Darcell Coleman. She was an “extraordinary” only child, a gift from Heaven.

Deone accepted Christ at an early age. She attended Catholic Schools and graduated from Michigan City Rogers in 1976. At the age of 21 she married Billy Garrett, to this union four children were born Rashauda, Nickolaus, Nolan and Noelle. Deone worked several jobs and obtained many certifications throughout her careers, a licensed cosmetologist, daycare provider, Blue Chip Casino, and also worked in retail for many years. Her greatest joy was working alongside both her loving parents at Coleman and Hicks Funeral Home.  She loved having family time with her children and grandchildren.
