Arline Coleman

With her son by her side, Arline Coleman, 95, peacefully entered into eternal life with her Savior on October 17th, after receiving outstanding care at Sacred Heart Senior Living in Center Valley. She was born Arline Mae Silva on May 14, 1927, in Manteca, California. Arline lived most of her life in California and moved to Center Valley in 2017 to spend the rest of her life with her son and his family. Arline loved God, loved her family, loved music, and was very proud of her Portugese heritage (her father emigrated from the Azores in 1911). She was predeceased by brothers Carl and Lester Silva, sister Anna Thomas, daughter Donna Wolfe, and grandsons Michael Rivera, Gabriel Martinez, Joseph “Geno” Martinez and David Martinez. She is survived by daughter Marie Martinez, son Stephen Rivera (wife Jane), daughter Ida Martinez (husband Paul), 6 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren, 6 great-great grandchildren, and her beloved “adopted daughter,” Stacy Stalsitz. A private service will be held at a later date in the Chapel at Oakwood Cemetery in Santa Cruz, California.
