Susan Buttimer Coleman

Susan Buttimer Coleman died peacefully at her home on Monday December 27, 2021.   Susan was born in Savannah, GA to Martha Sims Buttimer and Patrick Joseph Buttimer, Jr. on April 7, 1956.  Susan attended Blessed Sacrament School and graduated from St. Vincent’s Academy, Class of 1974.  Susan received a Radiology Certification from Memorial Hospital.  After stints in Augusta, Jacksonville and West Palm Beach Susan finished her career as an MRI Technician at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Savannah after thirty-six years of service.

Susan’s most important role was that of wife, mother and grandmother.  She raised two beautiful, accomplished daughters and was so proud to be Gigi to three wonderful grandchildren.  Susan burned up the road between Savannah and Jacksonville traveling to care for and play with her grandchildren.  They sure loved their Gigi!!!  Susan was looking forward to the 4th edition, a new Granddaughter, due 3/17/22.

Susan was stubborn and selfless and fiercely protective of her loved ones.  She loved Jimmy Buffett, the ocean, the Braves and beloved dog/sidekick Blake.

In addition to her parents Susan was predeceased by her daughter Blaine Coleman Bunton. 

Susan is survived by her husband Bruce Coleman and her daughter Brittany Coleman Feus (Karl) and grandchildren Wolfgang, Weiland and Karlie of Jacksonville Beach, FL.  Brothers Pat Buttimer (Patricia) of Longwood, FL and Terry Buttimer (Pam) and Stephen Buttimer (Kent) of Savannah.  Additionally, she leaves behind beloved aunts, uncles, cousins and nieces and nephews to cherish her memory.

GUEST BOOK

There are no words…. Susan was such a part of my working life for so many years. She had such wit. Sharing those days together and laughing when we were surrounded by the chaos of too much to do and not enough time to do it was truly special for me. Susan taught me to laugh, she showed me the way and I am forever grateful for her friendship. Her heart was burdened by such sadness but equally full of love for her family. May her spirit soar.

My prayers are with you and your family Bruce. May God wrap his loving arms around all of you and give you comfort and peace.

Mrs Susan was the best mom to her children and whatever other children were tagging along for the moment including me. I will never forget all the times we had or I shared with Blaine and Britt with her riding to school in morning and going to Destin Fl. She was always there for her children and friends. She was a strong strong lady and inspiration as I know she was in pain alot with her health for years.. I hope it brings some comfort knowing Blaine and her are together. In my thoughts and prayers.
