Thursday James Coles' Obituary
Thursday James-Coles, beloved daughter of the late Willam James and Carrie James-Fane, was born February 28, 1962 in Queens, New York.
During Thursday's illustrious life she traveled the world living in NY, CA, HI, NC, FL, and finally settling in Washington State. During her young adulthood, she joined hands in holy matrimony with the love of her life, Cloyd Coles. During their 40 year union, Thursday and Cloyd raised six children together; Teddi, Lorenzo, Autumm, Avivette, Jawara, and Summer.
Thursday obtained a CDL license before becoming a bus driver for King County. She was a nail tech as well as part owner of a nail salon. Thursday's love of children lead her to later open her own daycare center called Thursdays Care. More recently she attended Pierce College where she received a certification in Business Integration as well as Medical Billing and Coding.
Thursday’s biggest enjoyment came from cooking for family and friends as this was one of her many love languages. Thursday could make any and everything into a gourmet meal. She also found a love for ceramics and creating pottery objects. Thursday loved singing, and dancing, she was always finger popping with those long red nails saying “Ayyyyeeee”, and let's not forget her Cherries in the Snow lipstick that she has been known for wearing since her teenage years.
If you didn't know how Thursday felt about things, she didn't mind telling you as she never bit her tongue. She never met a stranger as she was always friendly, warm, and welcoming.
