Awtrey S. Coleman

Awtrey Stewart Coleman, 67, of Lorain, Ohio passed away on Friday, June 2, 2023. He was born December 6, 1955 in Lorain, Ohio. Awtrey retired from Giant Eagle as a store manager after 40 years of service. He will be fondly remembered as a garage sale junkie and a bargain hunter. He loved a good dessert (always helping himself to the last cookie) and was a Coca-Cola enthusiast and collector. As the life of the party, he was the first on the dance floor and enjoyed a great 70s tune and Motown music. Awtrey’s great joy was spending time with his loving companion Raymond and enjoying a great meal.

He will be deeply missed by his loving lifelong partner, Raymond Artidiello, of 35 years; sisters, Rita (Harvest) Daniels and Linda Noble.  Extended family, Marian Artidiello, Louie (Denise) Artidiello, Elaine Graves, Mary Jo (Patrick) Caserta and dear uncle to many nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by his mother, Mamie (Edmondson) Coleman.  The family will receive friends at Reidy-Scanlan-Giovannazzo Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 2150 Broadway, Lorain (440) 244-1961 on Wednesday, June 7, 2023 from 5:00 PM until the time of the Memorial Service at 7:00 PM.
