Coleman Keyes
Letoya Coleman Keyes daughter of Miriam Martinez Silva & Feliberto Silva whom she called Superman when he came into her life at age 3. Coleman was born on August 11, 1977 in Brooklyn, New York. She attended Saint Michael's grade school in Brooklyn NY and graduated from Susan Wagner HS Staten Island. She proceeded to John Jay College of Criminal Justice and graduated from Kings-borough College in New York. She continued her studies at Rutgers University in New Jersey. An Executive Event Coordinator, Letoya started her work career at the Office of the Mayor of New York City at the age of 17. In November 2000 she was blessed with her son Justin Cubilete and after 9/11 she moved to New Jersey with her family and worked at the Trump Taj Maj al, here she met her future husband Edwin Keyes. Letoya was united in matrimony to Edwin in July 2012.  

As a result of her generous spirit as a strong fighter and pleasant personality she was loved by many. Letoya Coleman life was beautiful as flowers and her influence will forever remain in the lives of all who knew her. Her favorite color was blue, favorite take-out was Chinese food, she loved her moms shrimp with spaghetti and Puertorican steak with onions and dads Lasagna and Pasteles. She loved high heel shoes and had a weakness for Nike Jordan's, one of her favorite songs was Shots by LMFAO - it was a must at her wedding .. Letoya loved to have fun with friends, travel to the Caribbean and Mexico, spend time with family and shopping. Although she left New York in 2002 you could never take New York out of the girl. She spent her last birthday on a beach in Cozumel Mexico eating fresh caught Red Snapper and drinking a corona. Letoya got to see her dream come true, owning her own little house where God gave her the opportunity to spend 23 days and 22 nights; she made changes to room colors, light fixtures, appliances and more, all to her taste - before he called her back to heaven.

The family has so many pictures and everlasting memories to remember until the end of time. Letoya was a loving mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin & friend!

Letoya was so much more than a friend to me she was my sorority sister but was like my sister. She was my closest friend through good and bad times. Most of my greatest memories were created with her by my side and we were there for each other through many hardships as well. Letoya taught me what it truely was to be a fighter an to never give up. Letoya honored me by naming me her sons Godmother and though time and distance may have separated us she was always close to me in heart and spirit snd will always remain so.
