Family, May God give you all peace and comfort during your loss. I will always remember "Ma Mary" as we called her, picking us all up for Sunday school and church at Mark's Chapel. She would have my brother and I, my cousins, and her grandkids and would get us all there on time and safely. I still don't know how we all fit but we did, and would sometimes stop and get us a snack from the store. "Ma Mary" you will truly be missed. Crystal McKnight Isler

May you be lifted with the love of the Great Creator, you will prevail. My heart is heavy. I grew up with the Battle family, love was always in their home. May you find comfort in the day's to come.Shirley Parker, East Orange, New Jersey.

My friend, Mary Coley; a true friend from the first time we connected. Little did I know, our friendship would continue even after we left United Federal Bank. When I heard the news of your passing, I refused to believe it but who am I to question God's infinite wisdom and timing. He was ready for a bright smile, a laugh that no one can imitate and a beautiful rose in a spot where He needed you. God knew just how to take you too - He let you slip away from us. Smile on my friend, laugh as much and as loud as you want to and whenever I see a yellow Cadillac with a few dents in it, I will remember our last conversation a few months ago. To the family, I know your hurt but rest assured that your mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, niece, friend, the Mary Coley, left an amazing legacy. She spread love wherever she went. May God comfort you all and keep you in His care. Rejoice in heaven, my friend. Love, Brenda and Carl Burgess, Monte', Brittany and Courtney Mercer.

It's allie again, I would always remember me sitting beside her at her desk and we would just talk and she would tell me about all her family and it sounded like they were a Beautiful family! Ms. Coley i will forever miss you! Rest in peace! Praying for her family and friends!

Hey my name is Allie and Ms. Coley was a sub for me for many years for school! She was always so happy and kind and always i could count on her to make me smile during my day! She was my favorite sub and always will be!! Even when i did not have her as a sub and she was in the same building as me she would come stop by and i would run and give her a hug!! She was a light to the room right when she walked in!! She will forever be missed! My heart and prayers goes out to all family and friends!

Mary a friend and classmate of Sam and Mary Harrison. Mary was kind and always fun to talk to and we shared so many laughs. In the most recent years we always saw her at the Food Lion. Sam and I were home for a visit doing some shopping and we always look to see Mary. Most of the times we did, and just those chats were still special and fun after more than 50 years. We could share our blessings and the goodness of our Lord. Blessings, Love and sympathy to the family.

Such a wonderful soul! Worked with her at Nashville Elementary... she loved and laughed so hard. Such a fun and caring person. Prayers of comfort to her family.

She was the best sub I ever had ... I used to love to seat at the desk with her and we would talk and she would tell me about her kids and her grand baby that was in the navy , sometimes we would have some deep conversations .

Aunt Chip, this is so hard. There are so many fond memories. From the laughter, to the banana pudding, to the times you would keep Rashaun as a baby and take him to Church many Sundays . You loved your nieces and nephews as though we were your children. If we needed anything and you had it.. it was ours as well. Lamar and Jamar shared a memory on how you got on them about quitting a job when they were teenagers, especially when they didn't have one to replace it with. DenNasia wants to know who's going to make her some banana pudding now? We LOVE you.

best elementary teacher always helped me nicest women in the world

I will remember her for being so nice to me when she drove my bus in elementary, especially that day when I was late to catch the bus so she drove up to my neighborhood to pick me up. She did not play around at all, but she was nice to all of her students. She will truly missed.

I'm sending my condolences and prayers to the family at this time. She was truly loved at Nashville Elementary.

you will truly be missed! family we are praying for you

Sending Comfort and Strength durning this most difficult time. Mrs. Coley has always been sweet to me and my family along with my extended family. I first met Mrs Coley when I was in high school, driving my school bus. And I will say Mrs Coley didn't play. I then came across her again at the store by Mid-lakes, then again years later bringing her grandchild to hair salon. Many years after that I came in touch with her when my daughter started middle school, as her sub-teacher. So I have known her for many years and must say she always had the same sweetness amongst her. She will truly be missed by us Earthly but Loved by God Heavenly. Take your Wings Mrs Coley

Rest in Peace Aunt Mary. Lissa Coley

Sending my condolences to the Battle - Coley family may you always cherish the memories and fun times you shared together. RIP
