On May 12, Texas A&M College of Dentistry lost a valued member of its community with the death of Lillie Coleman. A retired dental dispensing technician, Coleman devoted more than two decades of her career to ensuring students provided and patients received dental care in the safest environment possible. From 1983 to her retirement in 2004, the dental school was her work home.

“There have been major additions, but I’ve stayed with the college because I enjoy working here, and I have many fun memories,” Coleman stated in a 2003 Service Awards profile.
