Ann Hill Coleman

Ann was born into the Jones family on April 28, 1922 in McKenney, VA. Her parents, Meade B. Jones and Ruth Tucker Jones had 11 children, 6 girls and 5 boys. Ann was the third oldest. She and her siblings learned teamwork by doing many chores around the house. She recalls being asked for help when anything was lost because she was especially good at finding things. Her family moved to Twin Oaks, PA in 1928 and from there to Chester, PA in 1935. Her name changed to Mrs. Hill when she married her first husband, John Henry Hill in 1942. He was drafted soon after they were married, and Ann traveled with him to where he was stationed whenever possible. Sadly, he passed away in 1967. In 1980, she married Glenny Coleman and became stepmother to the three of his nine children who were still at home. After his demised she continued to live in Chester. During that time, she began attending North Chester Baptist Church, and has been a faithful member since 2007. In 2013 she moved from Chester to her current residence in Boothwyn, PA. While living in Chester, Ann had a career as a cosmetologist and ran her own upscale salon, Ann Hill Coiffeurs. She prided herself in offering the very best service, and her clients had to be properly dressed to be admitted. Throughout her life her main passion has been serving her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Ann was directed by God to start God’s Repair Shop. She held several crusades all over the country for God’s Repair Shop. This ministry was to serve those who have been hurt. Over the years Ann has been a faithful witness, a spiritual leader, and a teacher of young people. She remembers many teens who heeded her instruction and went on to have a consistent walk with the Lord and live successful lives. One young lady named Brenda, who she met again later, still remembered some of her teaching verbatim. Ann’s motto was “Be excellent and keep growing.” She always emphasized choosing friends wisely and avoiding gossip because, “Garbage make you stink.” Ann’s favorite hymn is “To God Be The Glory.” Her favorite Bible character is Peter because she feels like he is a kindred spirit. One of her favorite Bible verses is Psalm 30:5, “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” Another favorite is Psalm 125:5, “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.” God has blessed Ann with a long and fruitful life. As a result, Ann has blessed many others through her faithful teaching, witness and friendship. Ann was preceded in death by: Parents Meade and Ruth Jones, Siblings, Linwood Jones (BuBa), Horace Jones, Earl Jones, Meade Jones Jr., Louise Jones, Ruth Price and Esther Walker. Ann leaves to cherish and honor her memory: Helen Walker, Williams Jones, Vivian Micheal and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and adopted Goddaughter, Randy, close friends and the house hold of faith.
